Divine Appointments: Daily Devotionals Based On God's Calendar

In the Bible, God gave specific instructions about setting apart certain days, weeks, and special celebrations—His appointed times. This daily devotional walks readers through the spring season by following the Jewish months and is the first in a four-volume series. Each day contains a short devotional, scripture, and prayer. While many Jews continue to observe this schedule of events, many Christians feel that it is not relevant, or that the New Testament did away with these traditions. Scripture does not back this up. In fact, both Jesus and the early church followed these appointed times. One might argue that they did so because they were Jewish, but Christians should be reminded that they have been 'grafted in' to that very tree! Observing God's calendar is not the same as taking up a burden of tradition and is not necessary for salvation. Instead, it is a way to celebrate and enhance our heritage as children of God.
