Good Leap Day! Today we celebrate leaping for joy in the Lord Jesus! In the secular world, Leap Day is an acknowledgment of an imperfect calendar. It seems that counting the earth's rotations does not make for a perfect year. Does that mean that God's creation is not perfect? No, but we do know that it is stained by sin, and we simply do not know how far and how deep that stain goes. As we take today to get our calendar back on track, think of the one who is perfect. When Jesus arrived on earth, the day became special as Christmas; when Jesus died, the day became special as Good Friday; and when Jesus returned from the grave, the day became special as Easter. One perfect man walked the earth for a short time many years ago. The world became a better place because of Him, but He went to prepare a perfect place for us. None but God know the timing of His return. We rest in the promise and revel in the possibility that any day could be that day. Could it be today? Could it be tomorrow? Yes and yes. Rest and wait in the ever loving embrace of our Father in Heaven.
Have a great Leap Friday!
