Devotion: Holy Week

When the hour came, Jesus and his apostles reclined at the table. And he said to them, "I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer. For I tell you, I will not eat it again until it finds fulfillment in the kingdom of God." Luke 22:14-16 NIV

Experts on church leadership and growth state that in every service there is a "God Moment". This is that one point in a service in which God desires to move in and do His work in our lives. Sometimes we sense it and respond. More often, we miss it altogether-too caught up in the agenda or in our own desires.

Jesus Christ, in the ultimate God Moment of history, was about to give his life as the sacrifice for all humanity. Yet the disciples were all but clueless as to the momentous events that were going to unfold during the Passover week.

Are we so busy in our daily and weekly routines that we often miss our personal God Moments? I'm convinced that God desires to reveal Himself to me in fresh ways every day, but often I am too caught up in the art of living, or just not focused enough on Him to catch what He is wanting to show me.

As we approach the Easter weekend, be sure to find a place to stop and focus and let God reveal Himself to you. In so doing, you'll discover the beauty and peace that is the God Moment.
