Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good!
For His mercy endures forever.
Oh, give thanks to the God of gods!
For His mercy endures forever.
Oh, give thanks to the Lord of lords!
For His mercy endures forever:
_{Psalm 136:1-3 NKJV}

Ascribe to the Lord, you heavenly beings, ascribe to the Lord glory and strength.
Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name; worship the Lord in the splendor of his holiness.
_{Psalm 29:1-2}

God made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.
_{2 Corinthians 5:21 MEV}

And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”
Matthew 28:20 NLT

He was despised and rejected—
    a man of sorrows, acquainted with deepest grief.
_{Isaiah 53:3 NLT}

Oasis is defined as something that provides refuge, relief, or pleasant contrast. (merriam-webster.com) I experienced that today in the beauty of early spring. A reminder that Jesus is an oasis in the wilderness. The place we can turn for refuge and relief.

I pray you find a moment of oasis, too. May your eyes and ears be attuned to resurrection as the final days of Lent draw near. How I hope you discover refuge and relief right in the middle of your wilderness. Amen.
