(Charisma News) Katrina and Sandy … Harvey and Irma. These are familiar names of devastating hurricanes that hit the United States in the last decade. ‘Tis the “hurricane season” and as you might suspect, this season of flooding is nothing new to the Lord. In fact, it was established long ago on God’s calendar. Yes, Cheshvan is the month of Noah’s great flood, but also the eighth month of “new beginnings.” Eight is the number of new beginnings, so let’s uncover Cheshvan and see how we can emerge from its waters stronger than ever!
If you have been tracking along with His calendar, you will recall we just completed Tishrei, which means “beginning.” Two back-to-back months about beginnings? Is this a typo? No, not at all! In order for us to go back to the “beginning,” we have to have a new beginning. If we want to go back to Eden where there was peace with God, we have to have a new beginning.
