| Leap Year |
| 2020 is what we call a Leap Year, and we might ask, “Why add a Leap Day?”Leap days are needed to keep our calendar in alignment with the Earth’s revolutions around the Sun. It takes the Earth approximately 365.242189 days — or 365 days, 5 hours, 48 minutes, and 45 seconds — to circle once around the Sun. This is called a tropical year. Without an extra day on February 29 nearly every four years, we would lose almost six hours every year. After only 100 years, a calendar without leap years would be off by approximately 24 days in relation to fixed seasonal days such as the spring equinox or winter solace. |
| With all this in mind, one thing is certain: We have another day of God’s grace and the invitation for sinners to come in faith and repentance and receive His wonderful gift of salvation. God is giving you an extra day to consider this matter and be saved. Four times in the Bible we read: “To day if ye will hear His voice, harden not your heart” (Psalm 95:7-8; Hebrews 3:7-8; Hebrews 3:15; Hebrews 4:7). |
| If God repeats something four times it must be pretty important. In fact, the number 4 is His universal number. He is making both a universal and personal appeal to you today. Are you listening and responding? |
