Genesis 40:4 And the captain of the guard charged Joseph with them, and he served them: and they continued a season in ward.

Second use môwʻêd, mo-ade’; an appointment

Leviticus 26:4 Then I will give you rain in due season, and the land shall yield her increase, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit.

Third use ʻêth, ayth; time

Job 30:17 My bones are pierced in me in the night season: and my sinews take no rest.

Fifth use zᵉmân, zem-awn’; literally means duration, that any set time has an expiration date

Given that there are so many words that can be translated into the English language with a narrow understanding, I have chosen to study in greater depth to render a broader knowledge of the Word. This however will never be as real and meaningful as it was to the people of any certain time, place and circumstance. We do our best to relate, our hearts bent towards understanding.

These people of a certain time, place and circumstance failed God in one way or another. It is not all that much different today. If a better understanding helps me to avoid error, mistakes, sin, then the season I spend in the Word is well worth the effort.

Galatians 3:26 For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.

When a newspaper writes a false story it is their responsibility to correct that error. They offer a retraction. They take back what they wrote by offering up the truth. When we speak error it is not as simple as taking back your words, they have fallen on the ears of another, entered into the mind and set the mind on a path of error.

I have had one of my worst weeks and I have struggled as the Holy Spirit has been withholding forward progress in me due to an error I spoke. Last week I told my disciple I have faith in the Holy Spirit. That is error and a retraction has to be made. Here it is.

Nowhere in the bible does it say we have faith in anything except Christ Jesus. The Holy Spirit testifies of Jesus Christ. The Holy Spirit reveals the words of Jesus Christ. The Holy Spirit does the will of the Father. The Holy Spirit is the perfect example of humility because He will not allow credit to fall upon Him where that glory belongs to the person of Jesus Christ.

Do not offer up to me any consolation. This may not seem like a big deal to you but I am the one who mislead a disciple and it is for me to receive correction and make this retraction.

I can trust the Holy Spirit to do that which is consistent with who He is, His responsibilities, His character and His consistency is the same as God the Father, He does not change.

As this retraction falls upon that disciple, may the Holy Spirit straighten the path within that mind and lead him back on the right path.
