I used the transliterated Hebrew name for this Holy Day, Yom Teruah, because I wanted to talk about the word "teruah" as part of this. If you have seen my previous comics on Yom Teruah but haven't looked into the word you might have been confused. In our English Bibles this is translated as "the Day of Trumpets". However, when we look at the Hebrew word and its root, this doesn't necessarily mean a trumpet blast, but shouting. We do see instances of shouting going along side trumpets, such as Jericho. I am not saying "trumpets" is an incorrect translation, but I think it is not painting the full picture.

This Holy Day is commanded to rest and shout. There is a call for a "convocation", as some of the previously spoken about Holy Days. I neglected to go into the details of this word in those posts. The most common understanding of this word is to gather as an assembly. You will notice that most of our family observances are gathering with others. However, when looking at the Hebrew word and its root, this is a reading or calling out. I see this as possibly a command to get into the Word on these Holy Days, but we do still follow the traditional interpretation of gathering.

Prophetically, we see in 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 a shout and a trump for the resurrection of the believers. This could be pointing to this Holy Day as timing for that event.

Our family's observance is gathering with others, sharing a meal and going outside to shout and blow horns (usually shofars).

It's crazy and I never thought I would be one to talk about this stuff --- especially in public --- but I do think it's one of those concepts we need to think about, pray about, and ask YHWH for truth about. Because I think it's definitely a possible door for deception.

Sometimes we all know how YHVH says we should live and how we should act to those around us, but getting a reminder can help if we're tired or overwhelmed. Reading His Torah daily is an excellent way to be reminded of how kind and good He is! https://archive.aweber.com/awlist6425868/60Lz.

DEVOTIONAL
True Repentance

Sometimes life can feel like one big performance. We can get caught up in pleasing people, becoming successful, and attaining our greatest dreams. While those things are all good, what happens when we fail?

Most people go hard on themselves when they don't live up to their own expectations, or the expectations others have set for them. Can you remember a time you messed up? Did you feel guilt, shame, or even condemnation?

God’s Word talks about this very thing. That’s because God knows that we are not perfect, and that we will mess up in life. But when Paul talks about sorrow that comes from God, he talks about it very differently.

In 2 Corinthians, Paul says that godly sorrow doesn’t lead to condemnation, shame, or guilt, but rather it leads to repentance and restoration. When we look to Jesus, we are reminded that He took on all of our shame and guilt on the cross. This means we don’t have to carry the shame that Jesus already carried.

When we mess up, our first response should be to go to God and remind ourselves of the truth of the cross. While earthly sorrow pushes us down, godly sorrow brings us to Jesus where we can know we are forgiven and made new.

So while we may still mess up and fail, we can be confident that we are continually being made new by Jesus. God’s love and forgiveness never change.

Take some time to think about the love of God and His forgiveness in your life. Remind yourself that you are a new creation empowered by the Spirit of God to walk in new life. Write down one or two ways that you can remind yourself of these truths throughout your week.
