As I write this, we are in the middle of what worshiping Jews call “The Days of Awe,” observed during the first ten days of every Jewish New Year. Observant Jews focus on reading Scripture, dedicate extra time with God, and examine one’s heart and life in light of God’s ways.
Thus each Jewish new year is a time of renewal, taking stock, making things right with God and others. Such deliberate focus on God and His Word inevitably bring us face-to-face with questions like:
Am I walking rightly with the Lord? With other people?
Are there any sins I need to confess? Do I have any broken relationships which need to be mended?
