Time for February

The month of February defies time.  It is the shortest month of the year with only 28 days, but winter weather woes, Super Bowl woes, and Valentine’s Day woes can drag February painfully on.  The short month further confuses us with the Groundhog Day syndrome (immortalized by the Bill Murray movie) and a 29th day of the month that only happens every four years.  What to do!?!  Blog about it!

Scripture speaks much about time.  God is the author of time, though in His divinity He is beyond our human limitations of time.  God is not a Father Time; that was Chronos, a figure out of Greek mythology.  Our God of the ages is the “Ancient of Days*,” and He points us to (a sampling of) His perspectives on time, beginning with my favorite:

Teach us to number our days [aright], that we may gain a heart of wisdom.  Psalm 90 v 12  (Note – this verse is a prayer or request of God)

My times are in Your Hands.  Psalm 31 v 15

The seasons chapter, a time for everything.   Ecclesiastes 3

But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day.  2 Peter 3 v 8

“I am the Alpha and Omega,” says the Lord God, “who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty.”  Revelation 1 v 8

May God’s Word sustain your days and weeks.  I will continue this post in a few …

*Daniel 7 v 13

More significantly, I am God's child, a person believing in Jesus Christ and in His timeless Word. Blogging is new to me but I feel like I've always had a pen in my hand. I jot notes in my planner, mark papers, underline verses, write many letters, and occasionally draft articles for work or church. When I am not holding a pen, I am probably cuddling a mug of coffee.
