Here is this week's Yearly Cycle update.

Purim is coming up on March 6-7. The tradition is to fast during the daylight hours on 3/6/23 and then feast in the evening/the next day. This symbolizes how quickly God can take us from fasting to feasting. Purim comes from the story of Esther when a law was written that was going to destroy God's people. Esther approached the king and requested that he write a new law that would override the old law. The new law turned the tables and gave God's people mastery over their enemies. 

This is symbolic for us of the Old Covenant and New Covenant. Jesus did not come to do away with the Old Covenant. He brought in the New Covenant which overrides the old and gives us mastery.  

Here is our filter for this week... Purim.

I am praying for you.
