Purim

Listen to the Audio

Here is this week's Yearly Cycle Update.

We are approaching the Feast of Purim on March 16-17. The tradition on Purim is to fast during the daylight hours on March 16th and feast in the evening and through the next day as a reminder of how quickly God can take us from fasting to feasting. Purim is a reminder of the story of Queen Esther. There was a law written that was going to destroy God's people. In those days when a law was written it could not be undone but Esther petitioned the king to write a new law that put God's people in control and gave them mastery over their enemies. 

Here are some reminders for us from this story...

• God put us here for such as time as this.
• Jesus is the table turner- he turned the tables and gave us the New Covenant.
• When Esther wrote the new law, the king told her to write whatever she wanted and seal it in his name. Jesus told us that if we abide in him we can ask for whatever we want in his name. 

I am praying for you.
