The Feast of Trumpets is coming up on the evening of Sept 6th. The trumpet in the Old Testament was used for signaling. It called the people to assemble, told them when to move, and when to stop. The New Testament tells us that at the blast of the trumpet the dead in Christ will rise. Trumpets is a reminder that we have been called to live a new life connected to God, and part of this new way of living is learning to make unwavering decisions. This is something I had to learn because I used to waver on many of my decisions. This requires being single minded, diligent in your decision making, and then following through. Here are some verses to meditate on about what we promise/decide and fulfilling our word.
Nor should you swear by your head, for you cannot make a single hair white or black. 37 Simply let your ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes,’ and your ‘No,’ ‘No.’ Anything more comes from the evil one. Matthew 5:36-37
God is not human, that he should lie, not a human being, that he should change his mind. Does he speak and then not act? Does he promise and not fulfill? Numbers 23:19
Matthew 21:28-32 also contains the parable of Jesus about the two sons who were told to work in the vineyard. The first one said he would not go, but then changed his mind and went to work, while the second son said he would go, but never went. The first son did what pleased his father.
I am praying for you.
Daniel
