Name: February 22, 2026: First Sunday of Lent
Description: As soon as god gives a promise, time of testing follows. As soon as god gives a promise, the devil is close behind to try to sow unbelief. That's the real temptation here today. It isn't to turn stones into bread or to command god's angels or to take power over the world. It's to disbelieve the promise that the father has given.
