Should the -ember months scare you?
Should the -ember months scare you?
I believe in the Scriptures.
I believe in symbolism.
And in the spiritual significance of numbers.
But, sentiments and unscriptural apprehensions must be treated as what they are. Many cultures have their respective superstitions and practices passed down over the years. In rare circumstances, some of these superstitions step above their peers and enter the world stage - especially in respect of matters such as time which is a common phenomenon to us all.
There is nothing extraordinarily eerie to the months, save the anxiety they have come to attract.
Time is a constantly revolving wheel, switching between the past, present, and future.
There's as much trouble in the world in the 'ember' months as in January and August. And as much glory and beauty in September as in April.
Our fears have added horns to these times and made figures out of shadows.
It can change. We can change.
God is in all days, eternally good and perpetually protective. His love doesn't go on vacation once the Calendar flips to September.
Stay prayerful.
Stay hopeful.

The future is simply history being played backwards.

Here's some mystery to boggle your mind today. God wasn't just in the past and isn't just in the present. He's also in the future. He's already in 2040 looking over His shoulder to see how well we are catching up with our scientific, technological, psychological and economic baby steps. Once in a while, he lifts humanity's legs, opens a door wide, drops some astronomical discovery...and must laugh when we suddenly scramble over the drawing board, cancelling equations, revisiting theories, discovering things.
Think about it this way. Birds perch unperturbed, unharmed, confidently on electric, naked lines without being electrocuted. Whether you believe in billions and millions of years of evolution [I'll humour you], or in the Biblical Young Earth Age of only thousands of years, birds arrived waaaaaaaaay before electricity was discovered, before the first poles and wires were manufactured. Birds don't get shocked when they sit on electrical wires because they aren't good conductors of electricity. In short, when God created them, He had their safety in mind. Wouldnt it be a mess to have to recall the birds after electricity was discovered, and have to configure them to new realities?
God was watching out for them, from scratch. Think on that. In terms of yourself.
He wrote a script, ushered in all its actors, produced and directed it, published it, then rewound back to the start, crossed His legs and pushed "play".
We will never surprise Him.
He's the boss.
Our present is His past.
Mind-boggling.
