These are the appointed festivals of the Lord, the holy convocations, which you shall celebrate at the time appointed for them.
Israel's calendar wasn't just practical - it was liturgical. Sacred time was woven through the year with festivals, celebrations, commemorations. The same way a person wouldn't just work endlessly, a community needs sacred rhythm.
My family has started practicing the church calendar more intentionally - Advent, Lent, the major feast days. It's created a rhythm that helps us breathe spiritually. We're not just moving through undifferentiated time; we're moving through sacred seasons.
