There is a lot of discussion now a days about the multiple calendars the world has known and how can we really know what day it is, what time it is. I have heard of at least four maybe six calendars. So I asked the Lord, what calendar do you want me to know about and He said, “The sun, the moon and the stars are made for signs and for seasons, this is the calendar that matters.” Discussion settled for me.

Today, I am reading Genesis 8 and it says in verses 13-14 “In the six-hundred-first year of Noah’s life, on the first day of the first month, the flood had dried up. Noah opened the hatch of the ship and saw dry ground. By the twenty-seventh day of the second month, the Earth was completely dry.”

I am reading this and the Lord says, “Mark your calendar for significant dates as they happen, for they will serve as reminders of what I did on that day.” When we write down dates it reminds of certain events. We mark down birthdays, anniversaries, holidays, and even hard days like divorce days or death days. Dates matter to us and they matter to God.

Keeping a calendar of significant activities God did on certain days is common in scripture, but I sense God is going to have us keep a calendar of specific activities that happen between us and the Lord. This will serve as a reminder to us of what God did on that day.

And it is important that we understand God’s signs and seasons based on how the heavens are declaring the glory of God, the firmament the work of His hands. Keep your eyes open and your pens ready, dates are going to be significant for many reasons in this new season. Www.apostolicresourcecenter.org
