Journey to the Cross: A 40-Day Lenten Devotional

by Paul David Tripp

Under the shadow of the cross we get our sanity back, admitting who we are and what it is that we so desperately need.

It’s foolish and prideful to be unprepared for the battle with sin.

It’s right to be sad at what sin has done to you and everything around you. It’s good to be frustrated when you’ve allowed yourself once again to be hoodwinked by sin.

Here’s what is important to understand: your groaning is either anger that you’ve not gotten your way or a cry that God would get his holy, loving, wise, and righteous way. Groaning is either, “Will my kingdom ever come?” or it is, “Your kingdom come.”
