As we opened the month of Elul we ushered in the season of repentance. This is a time of “Teshuvah” or Returning. What does this mean for us? What does it mean to return? Below is a popular passage to consider during this season.
A Call to Repentance
by the Sephardic Rabbi, Physician, and Philosopher,
Moses Maimonides also known as the RamBam
Awake, you sleepers, from your sleep!
Rouse yourselves you slumberers, out of your slumber!
Examine your deeds, and turn to God in repentance.
Remember your Creator, and don’t be like those who are caught up in the daily round, losing sight of eternal truth.
Don’t waste your year in vain pursuits that neither profit nor save.
Look closely at yourselves.
Abandon your evil ways and thoughts, and return to the LORD, so that He might have mercy on you!
Suggested Reading:
Psalm 27
Ephesians 5:14
Luke 22:46
Romans 8:1
2 Corinthians 5:10,11
Exodus 34:6,7
I will have devotionals for everyone that attends. This devotional will take you through a step by step process of examining your heart in preparation for the Fall Festivals. It’s a little late, but there is still time…
Shalom!
- Pastor Michael
