From the

It is amazing how we have come to believe and live by the
urban myth that things always happen in three’s. Or is it really an
urban myth? Is there perhaps some truth in it?

I cannot claim that all things in my life happen in three’s, but
often this is the case. Now you may wonder why I am on about
the number three… well, March is the 3rd month of the year,
isn’t it? By now we have all settled into the 2016 groove, we are
past the finance-pinching-recovering-from-Christmas-over-
spending January, past the month of where we search out or
confirm our love, well into establishing or forgetting those New
Year’s resolutions, and looking forward to the first break coming
up in April.

I know that spiritually I can easily measure my walk with the
Lord in roughly 3-month periods. While not a rule, or even
consistent, when I look through my prayer journal it seems
as if a 3-month cycle is recognizable. More often than not it
is a simple shift in direction, or a fresh revelation, or merely
some place of Divine discontent. I think it has something to
do with the fact that we are created in the image of God, and
therefore we are destined to be creative, ever-developing and
ever-changing. I think the nature of the human spirit is destined
to be changed constantly closer to the “ultimate image” – that
of God. So enjoy the 3’s in your life, because I think that more
than we realize, God’s hand is in it – molding, changing, chafing,
skimming and polishing away the rough edges so that one day,
like a superb diamond, we too can reflect the glory that He
made us to carry.

So I wish you all a Merry March!
