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.

Embracing the Cycles of Life with Peace and Purpose

Life is often seen as a series of linear steps—one thing leads to the next, and eventually, we reach a final destination. But what if life isn’t as much a straight line as it is a circle, looping back on itself over time? What if the key to peace and growth lies in understanding that life is cyclical, full of seasons that repeat, shift, and evolve?

This perspective is not just about patience for the next season to come—it’s about seeing the cycles of life as a continuous process, each bringing us new understanding, new growth, and new opportunities for restoration. And above all, it’s about knowing that God is enthroned above the circle, watching over what He set in motion, protecting, and ensuring that His ordained cycles continue.


Life as a Circle: The Cycles We Live

Imagine life not as a linear journey from birth to death, but as a wheel turning, with moments that return and repeat themselves in different forms. These cycles—whether they are personal seasons, struggles, or moments of joy—are not meant to trap us. Instead, they are part of a greater rhythm, something that has purpose even when we don’t understand it.

In the book of Isaiah, we are reminded that God sits above the circle of the earth. He doesn’t just stand outside of time; He is actively watching over what He has set in motion. He watches over the earth, ensuring that “While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, winter and summer, And day and night shall not cease.” This is the steady hand of God, guiding, protecting, and allowing the natural rhythms to unfold in their proper time.

Understanding that life is cyclical rather than linear gives us peace. When we’re stuck in a hard season or feel like we’re going around in circles, we can rest knowing that each cycle has a purpose. The knowledge that this too shall pass—just like the seasons—helps us endure with patience and peace.


The Negative Cycles: The Wilderness and Captivity

But not all cycles are positive. There are destructive circles too—bad habits, toxic behaviors, negative thinking, or destructive relationships. These circles can feel suffocating and endless, and they’re illustrated vividly in the stories of the Israelites.

The Israelites wandered in the wilderness for forty years, trapped in a cycle of disobedience, fear, and doubt. Their own thoughts and behaviors kept them circling the same mountains, unable to move forward. Similarly, the Babylonian captivity was a result of their own choices—their rebellion and idolatry caused them to enter into a long, painful cycle of suffering and exile.

These cycles weren’t random. They were consequences of choices made in the past, but they were also cycles of correction. God used these negative cycles to bring about restoration. Just as He led the Israelites out of Egypt and through the wilderness, He eventually led them back from Babylon. Repentance was the key to breaking free from the destructive cycles and stepping into restoration.


The Promise of Restoration: Repentance and Growth

The beauty of the cyclical nature of life is that even when we’re caught in negative cycles, there is always a way out. Repentance is the turning point—a moment when we break from the cycle of destructive behavior and turn back to God. When we recognize the need for change, when we turn from our ways and seek restoration, we are given the opportunity to move forward into a new season, free from the cycles that held us captive.

The promise of restoration is clear. In the same way the Israelites were brought back from captivity, and the wilderness wandering ended when they chose to trust in God’s plan, we too can be restored. Repentance isn’t about shame; it’s about renewal, a chance to align ourselves with God’s rhythm for our lives.


Ezekiel’s Wheel: The Complexity of the Cycles

Ezekiel’s vision of the wheel within a wheel is one of the most vivid depictions of the complexity of life’s cycles. The wheels had eyes and moved in all directions, carrying the presence of God wherever they went. The wheel within a wheel is an illustration of how our lives, like those wheels, are intricate and multi-directional. It’s not just a simple rotation; it’s filled with movement, growth, and the capacity for vision.

The eyes on the wheel symbolize understanding and awareness. As we move through our own cycles, we gain insight. Each time we return to a particular season or challenge, we have the opportunity to see it from a different angle, to learn more and understand the deeper purposes behind it. Life’s cycles are not static; they are constantly evolving and revealing new truths to us as we move through them.


Re-lax: Peace in the Cycles

When we understand life as cyclical—moving in circles within larger cycles—we can relax. The pressure to keep pushing forward, to always be “progressing” in a linear sense, fades away. Instead, we can lean into the natural rhythm of life, knowing that every cycle, whether joyous or painful, brings growth and wisdom.

God, who sits above the circle of the earth, is not caught up in the chaos of our cycles. He watches over what He set in motion, protecting, guiding, and ensuring that the cycles continue as they should. Trusting in His guidance gives us the peace to endure, to wait patiently, and to know that our season is coming.

So, when life feels like it’s spinning out of control, or when you feel stuck in a negative cycle, take a deep breath. Relax. Remember that every cycle has its time, and God is with you through every turn. In the wisdom of understanding your place in the circle, you can find peace, joy, and the encouragement to endure.

You Are Mine

There are few things more powerful than being seen —truly, deeply seen. And there are few words more affirming than the ones God speaks in Isaiah 43:1: “But now thus saith the LORD that created thee, O Jacob, and He that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art Mine.” This verse hits with the force of a knockout punch. It’s God stepping in and declaring: “I don’t care what you’ve been through. I don’t care what name you’ve answered to. I don’t care what’s tried to claim you—I ALREADY DID. YOU. ARE. MINE.” Let’s break it down. Jacob vs. Israel: Who You Were vs. Who You’ve Become God doesn’t just call one name in this verse—He calls two. Jacob and Israel. This isn’t accidental; this is intentional. 🔹 Jacob (Ya‘aqov - ×™ַ×¢ֲ×§ֹב) means supplanter, deceiver, heel-grabber. Jacob was the struggler, the one who grasped at what wasn’t his, the man who schemed his way through life. His name was tied to his flaws, his past, his reputati...

Breaking the Lock and Key: A Call to Transformation

  1. Introduction: The Invisible Chains of Conformity “Do not be conformed to the image of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind” (Romans 12:2). This verse is not just a spiritual call—it’s a radical challenge to every system that seeks to mold us into something we’re not. Conformity, whether to cultural norms or religious rules, often feels inevitable. Yet, it can trap us in a cycle of dependency, where access to fulfillment, purpose, or salvation seems locked away by those in power. But there is another way. Transformation through the renewing of the mind is the antidote to conformity—a pathway to reclaiming the freedom Christ offers. To break free, we must recognize how the "lock and key" dynamic operates in the world around us. 2. The "Lock and Key" of Cultural Conformity The Chains of Expectation: From the moment we enter the world, we’re handed a script: achieve success, accumulate wealth, look perfect, and conform to society's defini...
