In a few days, we celebrate the beginning of a new year. We sometime look at this as a symbolic wiping of the slate, clearing away all that came along in the previous year, and beginning again with a fresh outlook and a promise on our lips to do better this time around.
Le 23:27 "The tenth day of this seventh month is the Day of Atonement. Hold a sacred assembly and deny yourselves, and present an offering made to the LORD by fire.
Le 23:28 Do no work on that day, because it is the Day of Atonement, when atonement is made for you before the LORD your God.
Le 25:9 Then have the trumpet sounded everywhere on the tenth day of the seventh month; on the Day of Atonement sound the trumpet throughout your land.
This is the way God wants us to celebrate the new year.
Not with empty “resolutions” that we break almost as soon as we make them, but with atonement which is a reconciliation between God and man, such as forgiveness and repentance of sin.
So, got any resolutions for this year?
