New Book "Enthroned Above the Circle of the Earth" Illuminates God’s Timeless Process of Creation and Personal Transformation Author Kyeme Chacon Reveals a Powerful, Faith-Building Journey Through the Genesis Creation Narrative In a world filled with uncertainty and change, author Kyeme Chacon invites readers into the steady, sovereign rhythm of God’s creation process in his new book, Enthroned Above the Circle of the Earth . More than a commentary on Genesis, this compelling work explores how the same divine process that formed the world continues to shape individual lives today. Through biblical insight, real-life testimony, and thought-provoking reflections, Chacon uncovers the sacred pattern of God’s hand—from chaos to order, from darkness to light, from brokenness to dominion. “This book was born out of transformation,” Chacon writes, “and my goal is to illuminate the pattern—to show that God’s process is still in motion and that your life is being shaped by it.” Whethe...
The Rhythm of Life: Finding Peace in the Seasons
One of the greatest gifts we’ve been given is the ability to recognize the patterns of life. In Genesis 8:22, we find a simple but profound truth:
“As long as the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night shall not cease.”
At first glance, this might seem like a straightforward observation about nature. But when we look deeper, we see something powerful: this declaration is a testament to love and faithfulness.
The Comfort of Knowing What’s Coming
In life, uncertainty often leads to fear. Anxiety about the future and regret over the past can rob us of peace. But what if we could live with confidence, knowing that seasons come and go in a predictable rhythm? Just as farmers don’t panic when winter arrives—because they know spring will follow—we, too, can navigate life with assurance when we understand the spiritual and natural cycles at play.
We dress differently in summer than in winter. We plant in one season and harvest in another. We don’t fight these rhythms; we adjust to them. In the same way, when we recognize the seasons of life, we stop resisting and start flowing with them. This isn’t just a principle for nature—it’s a principle for everything.
The Spiritual Parallel: Recognizing Life’s Seasons
The natural world reflects deeper truths about our personal and spiritual journeys:
Seedtime and Harvest – What we invest in—our time, energy, habits, and relationships—will eventually yield a return. We don’t always see immediate results, but we trust the process because it’s a fixed principle.
Cold and Heat – Some seasons feel like winter, where things seem dormant, slow, or even lifeless. Others are like summer, full of energy and activity. Both are necessary, and both have their place.
Day and Night – There are moments of clarity and revelation (day) and times where we must move forward by faith even when we can’t see the whole picture (night). The presence of night doesn’t mean the day won’t return—it’s all part of the cycle.
When we embrace these truths, our faith grows, and our anxiety fades. We stop being afraid of change because we recognize that every season has a purpose. The difficulties of today don’t last forever, and the successes of today don’t mean we won’t need to prepare for new challenges ahead.
Faith is Not Blind—It’s Based on Evidence
Too often, faith is described as blind, but in reality, it’s the opposite. Faith is built on substance and evidence (Hebrews 11:1). We don’t question whether the sun will rise tomorrow because we’ve seen it happen every day of our lives. In the same way, when we observe the unchanging cycles of life, we realize that faith isn’t wishful thinking—it’s trusting in a pattern that has never failed.
For example, scientists can predict eclipses hundreds of years into the future because the movements of the sun, moon, and earth follow precise, unchanging patterns. In the same way, we can look back in time and determine when celestial events occurred with remarkable accuracy.
One such event is recorded in the biblical account of Joshua, where the sun stood still to allow the Israelites more time to achieve victory. This event is recorded in Joshua 10:12-14. Some researchers have attempted to pinpoint this occurrence, suggesting it corresponds to October 30, 1207 BCE (Times of Israel). This alignment showcases how natural events can be traced back and understood within the framework of consistent natural laws. Just as the natural world is governed by fixed rhythms, so is life itself.
By acknowledging these patterns, we can strengthen our faith, knowing it’s grounded in observable evidence and the unwavering order of the universe.
How This Changes Everything
When we grasp this, everything shifts:
We stop worrying about the future because we know what’s coming next.
We stop dwelling on the past because every season has its time and purpose.
We start living with peace and confidence, trusting that whatever season we’re in will eventually shift into the next.
The beauty of all of this is that this knowledge isn’t exclusive to any one belief system—it’s available to everyone. The universe itself testifies to these truths, and when we align ourselves with them, we experience a kind of peace that isn’t dependent on circumstances but on understanding the bigger picture.
Embracing the Rhythm
So the next time you find yourself anxious about the unknown or stuck in the regrets of yesterday, take a step back. Observe the world around you. The same God who set the planets in motion and fixed the seasons in place has also given us the ability to see, prepare, and trust.
The rhythm of life is steady, unshaken, and full of promise. When we embrace it, we move from fear to faith, from worry to wisdom, and from uncertainty to confidence in the unchanging nature of what has always been—and what will always be.
