Sunday 6th September 2020 - Repenting for Creation
Creator God, I pray that my words may be to your honour and Glory. Amen. I’ve always been an avid reader of science fiction books, and recently, have been reading the Fifth Season. The story is set on a planet, like earth, which could be a far-future earth, with just one super-continent, called the stillness. Which is anything but still, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and tsunami are frequent. They have four seasons, as we do, but occasionally, there is a fifth season, it can be caused by a volcano filling the air with ash and dust, by poisoned air causing crops to fail, by sea levels rising and so on. The fifth season can last months, years or centuries. People plan to survive a season, but know that one day, they may not survive, and perhaps their race will end. A quote from the book is, “Winter will come early, and hard, and it will last a long, long time. It will end, of course, like every winter does, and then the world will return to its old self. Eventually. Eventually.
