40 for Life: Israel, God's Discipline for Life

† Midweek of Lent 3 † March 11, 2026

Israel mistrusted God’s Word and promise. The result? 40 years of wandering in the wilderness of Sinai! 40 years under God’s discipline. Yet, God remained faithful to his people and provided for all their needs of body and soul. So it is for us! We are on a journey from death to life in the wilderness of this fallen world. And like the Israelites, we are cared for and forgiven by our merciful God.
