Spring Equinox – Transition Reflections

Everything in our solar system revolves around the Sun. The solar system is a picture of our constant transition while on earth. 

We are in a constant cycle of experiencing DAY and NIGHT. We know that DAY and NIGHT are polar opposites. They are two ends of the spectrum. 

But twice a year, we experience the EQUINOX.

March 21, 2023 marks this year’s SPRING EQUINOX.

The Spring Equinox is when day and night are EQUAL. 

On this day, many cultures around the world perform rituals and symbolic ceremonies around the equinox. The Sun is the focal point of worship and reverence. There are religions that believe that the sun is a deity.

I believe that the Sun and CREATION testifies about God. There is a BIG difference. 

The Sun is a powerful metaphor of the age to come, where Isaiah saw the future and declared in Isaiah 60:19 

“The sun shall be no more your light by day, nor for brightness shall the moon give you light; but the Lord will be your everlasting light, and your God will be your glory.”

Spring Equinox reminds us of the temporal nature of life on earth, and its imperfections. Things are always changing and shifting. 

Equinox speaks of:

  • Balance 
  • Equality
  • Reset
  • Renewal 
  • Restoration 
  • Recalibration 

What a glimpse of what we long for. These words above are important for our inner flourishing. When there is disorder or imbalance, it is in our nature to move towards  RECALIBRATION. 

Spiritually speaking, God uses experiences and events from time to time to RECALIBRATE us on our journey as we navigate the cosmic and spiritual forces of light and darkness. 

With the equinox, we get a vague picture of our spiritual journey. We are moving towards a DESTINY where everything will be RECALIBRATED PERMANENTLY. 

Isaiah prophesied this way back: in Isaiah 60:19

For you will have the Lord for an everlasting light,

And the days of your MOURNING will be over.

Revelation 21: 23-26 further confirms our prophetic destination with these words:

“The city does not need the sun or the moon to shine on it, for the glory of God gives it light, and the Lamb is its lamp. The nations will walk by its light, and the kings of the earth will bring their splendor into it. On no day will its gates ever be shut, for there will be no night there. The glory and honor of the nations will be brought into it.” 

When the new earth is ushered in,

There will be: 

  • No more cycles of change 
  • No more seasons 
  • No more tears
  • No more night
  • No more dark

We will live in the PERFECT LIGHT, who is a PERSON…the Creator God Himself. 

So for those in transition – you may have been feeling off-balance, thrown off your horse or in a place of disorientation due to insufficient light to illuminate your path, my prayer is that you will turn towards God, our eternal Light in order to experience His REVELATION in your circumstances.

May the Spring Equinox serve as an invitation for you to move TOWARDS A DEEPER ENCOUNTER with the Source and Giver of life. 

While we journey towards A NEW HEAVEN AND A NEW EARTH, may the Lamb continue to be your LIGHT in every season of your soul. 

And May His glory reflect His Splendor through you, to illuminate the darkness along the way.
