Rosh Hashanah (New Year, a holy day in the Hebraic calendar) was celebrated in Old Testament times with 100 trumpet blasts. The ten days between Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur (Day of Atonement –9/17-9/18) are called the “Days of Awe,” when one considers his sins before God and enters into a period of repentance, asking forgiveness from God and those one has harmed, and of restitution. (See Lev.23: 23-25, Nu. 10:9-14, 1 cor. 15: 52, I Thes.416-17, Rev.10:7,11:15.)
Psalm 32:6-9 (New Living Translation)
Therefore, let all the godly pray to you while there is still time, that they may not drown in the floodwaters of judgment. For you are my hiding place; you protect me from trouble. You surround me with songs of victory.
Interlude
The Lord says, “I will guide you along the best pathway for your life. I will advise you and watch over you. Do not be like a senseless horse or mule that needs a bit and bridle to keep it under control.”
Father of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob,
In this first day of a new year in the Hebraic calendar, we humbly ask for Your protection and guidance throughout the year. Amen.
