A Time of Redemption and God’s Grace
Galatians 6:7-9 KJV
7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
8 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.
9 And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.
The month of Elul is preparation for the High and Holy “Days of Awe”. The 10-Day period marks a time of deep reflection, repentance, and spiritual renewal that begins with Rosh Hashanah (the Jewish New Year, September 11, 2026) and concludes with Yom Kippur (the Day of Atonement, September 21, 2026).
The Days of Awe are marked as a time when God judges humanity. God opens the “Books of Life” and writes down who will live, who will die, and seals each person’s fate for the coming year. The 10 Days are a period of Grace. One’s fate for the future is not made absolute until Yom Kippur. These Holy Days offer an opportunity to mend our ways.
We don’t have to be Jewish to see the Divine Value of the Cause and to Know the effect could only be Divine Justice. The Father knows the true condition of our Heart. We can reveal it on our own accord, or we can “test the fate” of the Lord’s Word.
Will we mock the Word and take our chances? Or, will we surrender to the Truth and Be Forgiven?
Joel 1:15 KJV
15 Alas for the day! for the day of the Lord is at hand, and as a destruction from the Almighty shall it come.
