Today is the day that Jews everywhere celebrate our New Year...
It is officially the year 5764.
And as I am writing this journal entry, I am watching God's gallant display of clouds marching in parade across the heavens. The deep blue sky and the columns of huge milky-white clouds are both breathtaking and mesmerizing. What a Creator!
On this Rosh Hashanah, I was up early in the morning. I spent much of this morning reading the apostle Paul's letter to Titus in the New Testament. It is only three chapters in length, but it is packed full of healthy "spiritual meat." Rosh Hashanah has nothing to do with this letter to Titus, but this is where the Lord lead me.
Oh, how wonderful is this day. How good it is to know my Messiah. I do not deserve such goodness from God's Hand. I deserve death for both my sins and my crimes. Yet God has granted mercy. He has given me a forgiveness I could never merit or achieve on my own. "Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, by the washing of regeneration and the renewing of the Holy Spirit" (Titus 3:5).
