Daily Word or phrase:
Teshuvah – “To Return or repent”
A
special season known as Teshuvah, which in Hebrew means “to return or repent”
begins on the first day of the month of Elul (today) and continues for 40 days,
ending with Yom Kippur. Thirty days
into Teshuvah, on Tishrei 1, comes Rosh HaShanah. This begins a final 10 day period beginning on Rosh Hashanah and
ending on Yom Kippur. These are known
as the High Holy Days and as the Awesome Days (Yamim Nora’im, the days of awe)
The Sabbath that falls within this 10 day period is called Shabbat Shuvah, the
Sabbath of Return. Five days after Yom
Kippur is Sukkot, the Feast of Tabernacles.
Teshuvah begins on Elul 1 and concludes Tishrei 10, Yom Kippur. Each
morning during the 30 days of the month
of Elul, the trumpet (shofar) or ram’s hom is blown to warn the people to
repent and return to God. [2]
Meditation
Verse/Verses:
Yohanan/John 14:21 The Scriptures
He who possesses
My commands and guards them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me shall be loved by My Father, and I shall love
him and manifest Myself to him.”
Deborah’s Drash for Today:
The whole month of Elul
is a 30-day process of preparation through personal examination and repentance
for the coming High Holy Days. The
shofar is blown every morning service. Psalm 27,
which begins with “The Lord is my light and my salvation” is also recited at
the end of the morning and evening liturgy.
The message from Elul 1 to Rosh Hashanah is clear: Repent before Rosh Hashanah. Don’t wait until after Rosh
Hashanah, or you will find yourself in the Days of Awe.
Tehsuvah (repentence)
speaks to all people. Those who believe
in the Messiah Yeshua are called to examine their lives and see where they have
departed from G-d. It is a call to
examine the Scriptures and the evidence that the Messiah Yeshua was who He said
He was.[3]
It is a time to
examine ourselves, not the other person, but ourselves, to see if we have truly
been walking in the love of Messiah and obeying His Torah or have gone our own
rebellious way. According to the verse
above, do we truly love Messiah as He says we should? Are we walking in obedience to His commands?
These next 30
days, keep a journal and write down the areas that you know you need to repent
of and make a change before Rosh Hashana, this includes relationships that may
need mending because of LaShon Hara or for other reasons. It is a time to prepare ourselves and make
things right in our life, remember judgment begins in the House of the Lord, it
is time to do some House cleaning, I know I need to do some and maybe you do
too? J
