Prayer – Lord, You are awesome. I sing praises to You…and listen for the sound of the Trumpets. Please give me wisdom and understanding as I seek to honor You. Open my mind and heart to understand Your word.
Come, everyone! Clap your hands! Shout to God with joyful praise! For the LORD Most High is awesome. He is the great King of all the earth. He subdues the nations before us, putting our enemies beneath our feet. He chose the Promised Land as our inheritance, the proud possession of Jacob's descendants, whom he loves. God has ascended with a mighty shout. The LORD has ascended with trumpets blaring. Sing praises to God, sing praises; sing praises to our King, sing praises! For God is the King over all the earth. Praise him with a psalm. God reigns above the nations, sitting on his holy throne. The rulers of the world have gathered together with the people of the God of Abraham. For all the kings of the earth belong to God. He is highly honored everywhere. Psalm 47:1-9
Meditate. Listen for the sound of the trumpet—the wail of the shofar horn.
It isn’t long until the Feast of Trumpets—one of the great
Jewish festivals. It is the first of the fall festivals. It commemorates the
creation of the world and is the start of the New Year on the Jewish calendar,
or Rosh Hashanah. See Leviticus 23:23-25 and Numbers 29:1-6. This year it
begins at sunset on September 25, continuing to sunset on September 27. The
sound of the trumpet, blown 100 times, is a reminder that God calls His people
to repent. The Feast of Trumpets is followed by ten days, Days of Awe, of
repentance and introspection. The Feast of Trumpets and Yom Kippur, that occurs
immediately after the Days of Awe, are considered High Holy days for the Jews.
Yom Kippur is the Day of Atonement, when Jews ask for forgiveness from God and
others. That day ends joyously celebrating that their sins are forgiven, and
their names are inscribed in the Book of Life for another year. This year Yom
Kippur is celebrated on October 4-5, 2022. Prophesy predictors are saying that
these coming dates are very significant. God didn’t write prophesy in the Bible
for us to ignore, but He also didn’t give us a specific calendar saying exact
day of Christ Jesus’ return or the rapture for a reason. Do you think people
would procrastinate until the last minute to accept Jesus as their Savior if
they knew the day and the hour of His return? Sure, they would. As it is God is
waiting for people’s response.
The Lord
isn't really being slow about his promise, as some people think. No, he is
being patient for your sake. He does not want anyone to be destroyed, but wants
everyone to repent. 2 Peter 3:9
Repent and be saved. Now is a time to give glory…and sing. To sing praises to God! To sing praises to our King! Give Him glory. Is He your King and Savior? If not, seek Him today.

Friday’s Feast at the King’s Table
Summer is over…fall has begun with the equinox today and the traditional first day of fall as September 21st. Check with Google for details.
Watermelon season is over—and we enjoyed some great melons the last few weeks from our local Farmer’s Market. What should I do with the melon I still have, I wondered on this crisp fall day? It just isn't appealing cold. Maybe I could cook up some melon soupji? So, here’s a simple soup I tried.
Hot Melon Soup2 cup honeydew melon, cut into one-inch chunks, with skin and seeds removed
1 cup leftover cooked rice
¼ cup kimchee, or more to taste
Heat the melon chunks in a small sauce pan to boiling, add the rice. Gently stir. Pour into one large bowl to serve one person or divide between two medium b I will certainly continue owls to serve two people. Add the kimchee. More, or less, as you desire. Enjoy.
