Dt. 26: 4-10/Rom. 10:8-13/Lk 4:1-13

For “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” Rom. 10:13
That statement stays with me as I read and reread the scriptures for today. The people in
Deuteronomy served their first fruits to God in honor of His love and compassion towards them.
They called on the Lord when they were in need, and He brought them out of oppression.
In the second reading, again we are reminded to call of the Lord, and He will provide. He tells
us to believe in our hearts and confess with our mouths and He will save us. He sees no
differences when He looks at His children; we are all the same in God’s eyes.
The Gospel of Luke gives us a perfect example from Jesus himself on how to act when tempted
by the devil. Jesus repeatedly went to scripture to rebuke the temptation set before Him. Jesus
shows us that believing in our hearts the Word of God and confessing that belief out of our
mouths allows us to turn away from the devil and His evil plans.
Today’s reflection reminds me that I have to turn to God’s Word daily and in all that I believe
and speak so that God will provide for my every need. The Lenten season provides all of us the
opportunity to grow closer to God through reading His Word, believing His Word and then
confessing His word from our mouths.
