Today until nightfall is the last day of the Feast of Trumpets. The Day of Atonement, which is found in Leviticus 8 and 23, is next on the calendar, beginning at nightfall on October 11 and ending at dark on the 12th. Jesus has already atoned for our sins, so the most reverent thing for us to do is to acknowledge what he did for us on the cross by worshipping and praising him for his atoning sacrifice. We know his sacrifice is worthy of more than one day, so we should mark the days from here until the 12th as special days in our hearts and honor him in an extraordinary way, different than our usual daily routine. What could that look like? Singing your favorite worship songs, reciting scripture, reading your favorite passages to him in prayer, or something that differentiates the time as unique. Isn’t he worthy of this and more? It seems we are knocking on the door of tribulation, and the times we live in are becoming more and more unbearable. If we are to be taken out beforehand, as many believe, I expect that to happen soon. If so, wouldn’t it be great for Jesus to find us worshipping him as he calls us home? Stay focused, brothers and sisters, and keep worshipping him with a heart full of love!

My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world. 1 John 2:1-2
