God's Calendar | Iyar
Marcy Leute dives deep into the importance of aligning with God’s calendar, specifically focusing on the Hebrew month of Iyar. She introduces us to the concept of divine timing through the biblical lens, not just as a tradition from the Jewish or Hebrew calendar, but as a vital element in understanding God's interactions with us. Drawing from Daniel 2, she shares how insights into God's timing can bring wisdom and deeper spiritual understanding, highlighting His sovereignty over all seasons and changes. Exploring different worldviews, Marcy breaks down human perspectives into three distinct mindsets: Barbarian, Greek, and Hebrew. She explains that while the Barbarian mindset is driven by fear and control, the Greek mindset idolizes human logic and achievement. In contrast, the Hebrew or biblical mindset transforms us by renewing our minds through God's truth, helping us discern His perfect will. She then guides us through the specific themes of Iyar, described as a transition period similar to the Israelites' journey from Egypt to Sinai. This time is marked by chaos and discomfort, natural companions of significant change. Through stories from Exodus 15, 16, and 17, she illustrates how God reveals Himself as a healer, provider, and victor, meeting the Israelites' needs in the wilderness. Marcy encourages our community to embrace the challenges and discomforts of transitions, trusting in God’s provision and timing. By understanding and aligning with God's calendar, she believes we can navigate our own periods of change more effectively, opening ourselves to new revelations and deeper trust in God’s plan. This is an invitation for us to deepen our understanding of God’s timing and to sync our lives with His divine seasons for growth and deeper faith within our culture and community.
