Happy Leap Day!

Happy Leap Day! According to Wikipedia: “February 29, also known as leap day or leap year in the Gregorian calendar, is a date that occurs in most years that are divisible by 4, such as 2008, 2012, 2016, 2020, and 2024…. A leap day is observed because a complete revolution around the Sun takes slightly longer than 365 days. It compensates for this lag, realigning the calendar with the Earth’s position in the solar system; otherwise, seasons would occur in a different time than intended in the calendar year.”

Perhaps today, especially as we’re in the season of Lent, you’ll want to take a “leap of faith” in your Christian walk. Something like the scene in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade:

The fundamental fact of existence is that this trust in God, this faith, is the firm foundation under everything that makes life worth living. It’s our handle on what we can’t see. Hebrews 11:1 (MSG)

Trust in the Lord with all your heart;
    don’t rely on your own intelligence.
Know him in all your paths,
    and he will keep your ways straight. Proverbs 3:5-6 (CEB)

We live by faith, not by what we see. 2 Corinthians 5:7 (CEV)

The righteous shall live by faith. Romans 1:17 (ESV)

The testing of your faith produces perseverance. James 1:3 (NIV)

Listen, stay alert, stand tall in the faith, be courageous, and be strong. 1 Corinthians 16:13 (VOICE)

It is impossible to please God without faith. Anyone who wants to come to him must believe that God exists and that he rewards those who sincerely seek him. Hebrews 11:6 (NLT)
