It’s leap year so this is a day added to the calendar every four years to keep our clocks in line with the earth’s rotation around the sun.
The reason for this extra day is that every year the earth circuits around the sun in 365 and ¼ days. For a few years that wouldn’t have much impact on the four seasons of each year, but that ¼ of a day over decades or centuries would make our known seasons quite different if this adjustment was not made.
Stay on the path that the Lord your God has commanded you to follow. Then you will live long and prosperous lives in the land you are about to enter and occupy. (Deuteronomy 5:33 NLT)
One section of the Serenity Prayer reminds us: “trusting that You will make all things right if I surrender to Your will so that I may be reasonably happy in this life and supremely happy with You forever in the next.”
So, let’s take inventory and see if we have been drifting and make an adjustment to line our lives up once again with God’s trustworthy direction.
Prayer: Loving God, Thank You for loving me and staying with me every step of my journey. Help me to trust Your love, to stay close to You, and to make whatever adjustments are necessary so I don’t drift apart from You. Amen
