PB Devotion

Jewish people think about forgiveness during this time of year and are usually eager to repent before God and reconcile with whomever they may have offended. But forgiveness is viewed as temporary; needing annual renewal and received not only on the basis of God’s grace, but also on our repentance and willingness to be obedient to His Law, which is found in the Five Books of Moses, the Torah.
The Ten Days of Awe, or the Ten Days of Repentance, are observed during the time between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. Jewish tradition calls upon us to ask for forgiveness from those we may have offended during the past year and to forgive others for their offenses against us in anticipation of receiving God’s forgiveness at the conclusion of the ten-day period. We celebrate Gods grace, mercy, redemption and forgiveness of sins. We rejoice right now because he paid the ultimate price. Forgiveness is ours!!! In the same tone Jesus said,

“So if you are presenting your offering at the altar, and while there you remember that your brother has something [such as a grievance or legitimate complaint] against you, leave your offering there at the altar and go. First make peace with your brother, and then come and present your offering.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭5:23-24‬ ‭AMP‬‬

This is the time to reflect and make peace.

The High Holy Days!!!

Sow Anyhow!!

“Let us seize and hold tightly the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is reliable and trustworthy and faithful [to His word]; and let us consider [thoughtfully] how we may encourage one another to love and to do good deeds, not forsaking our meeting together [as believers for worship and instruction], as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another; and all the more [faithfully] as you see the day [of Christ’s return] approaching.”
‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭10:23-25‬ ‭AMP‬‬
