Hey everyone!
Here is this week's Yearly Cycle update communion meditation.
Today is the Feast of Purim. I think of Purim as the turning point of the year, and a reminder of how quickly God can turn things around.
Purim comes from the book of Esther, when a law was written that would wipe out the Jewish people. In those days, once a law was written it could not be undone. After a time of fasting Queen Esther petitioned the king to write a new law that would override the previous law. An interesting part of this story is that the king told Esther to write whatever she wanted. Jesus told us something very similar in John 15:7 when he said that if we abide in him, we can ask for whatever we want.
The new law turned the tables and gave the Jewish people the upper hand and mastery over their enemies.
Purim is the table-turner day. When the tables are turned it doesn't mean everything changes in that moment, but the trajectory of the situation changes.
This feast is a reminder of how quickly God can take us from fasting to feasting when the tables are turned.
I am praying for you.
Daniel
