Working on Atonement?

On exactly the tenth day of this seventh month is the Day of Atonement; it shall be a holy convocation for you, and you shall humble your souls and present an offering by fire to the LORD. Leviticus 23:27

 

The Day of Atonement—Yom Kippur—for this year is coming—next Wednesday. Atonement—to cover, purge, make an atonement, make reconciliation, cover over, or to pardon. Are you setting things right with the Lord? The time between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur is the time to consider sins of the past year. On Yom Kippur private and public confessions of guilt are made—in reconciliation with God. The scripture mentions presenting an offering with fire—but no sacrifices of that type have been made since the Temple was destroyed in 70 AD.

 

Get ready.       

 

Prayer ~ Holy Spirit, bring to my memory any sins of which I have failed to admit or swept under the rug. Help me to make conciliation…please pardon my sin—and forgive me. I humble myself before You, God.
