Lenten Devotion for Holy Saturday

They had seen their Savior crucified
and buried in a sepulcher.
They felt life had come to an end
and knew not how they’d endure.

Some may have hid all alone
others may have cried together
all wrapped up in their shared grief
like a spell of awful weather.

Women’s nature was to nurture
and they tried to do their best
but it’s hard to nurture others
when you’re facing such a test.

“We have to make the most of it,”
I’m sure someone must have said
but they could not hide the fact
that their loved one was dead.

We know what was ahead of them
the morning of the next day
but they had no idea
and all they could do was pray.

When your life seems as helpless
as the followers had to face
reach back to the faith you have
and depend of God loving grace.
