Day 40, Tishrei 10 – Return to the Lord’s liberty (2023)
On Yom Kippur, God desires us to “to loose the bonds of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, to let the oppressed go free, and that you break every yoke” (Isaiah 58:6). He wants us to take away the yoke, pointing of the finger, and wickedness. He wants the hungry to be fed and the…

Day 39, Tishrei 9 – Return to forgiveness (2023)
Today is the last day before Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement. As we pray for God’s forgiveness, we must forgive others, too. Our sins are so great and so many – they are greater than a debt of trillions of dollars to God, which is impossible to repay. God, in His grace, freely forgave…

Day 38, Tishrei 8 – Return to the things above (2023)
Why does the book of Colossians equate covetousness with idolatry? Covetous people desire things that belong to others and are never satisfied with what they have, no matter how rich they are. As followers of Yeshua (Jesus), we have died with Messiah – died to our lusts and evil desires. We have been raised with…

Day 37, Tishrei 7 – Return to godly stewardship (2023)
All that we have, including our money, is from God, entrusted to us. Let us be good stewards and use what He has given us for His kingdom. Today’s Teshuvah: Have you robbed God or others? Today, God calls, “‘Bring all the tithes into the storehouse, That there may be food in My house, And try…

Day 36, Tishrei 6 – Return to holiness (2023)
Whether married or single, young or old, God wants each of His children to live a holy life, because He is holy. Examine your heart and repent as you read God’s definitions of adultery in Hosea 3:1-5 and Matthew 5:27-30. Today’s Teshuvah: Are you guilty of loving other “gods” more than God, the One who…

Day 35, Tishrei 5 – Return in your relationships pt. 3 (2023)
As the elect of God, are you filled with “tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering”? God wants us, as His children, to walk in love, seek peace, and work together in unity as one body. Do you seek love, peace, and unity? Continue in mending relationships with others. Today, repent and ask forgiveness from your…

Update! Please read!
Dear brothers and sisters in Messiah, I pray that you are all doing well and drawing closer to our Father! We are currently in the Days of Awe, known in Hebrew as Yamim Noraim, which are the 10 days leading to Yom Kippur. Let us continue to repent and lay our requests before our Father…

Day 34, Tishrei 4 – Return in your relationships (pt. 2) – UPDATED
God wants us to worship Him in Spirit and in truth. The Lord doesn’t want to receive our gifts and offerings when we still owe our brethren apologies and restitution. We cannot have peace with God when we do not have peace with our family. If we cannot love our brother whom we can see,…

Day 33, Tishrei 3 – Return in your relationships (part 1) 2023
Today’s reading describes a very sad situation where a person’s enemies are those of his or her own family – wives against husbands (Micah 7:5), children against parents (Micah 7:6), and children-in-law against parents-in-law (Micah 7:6). Today’s teshuvah (repentance): Repent before God of sins against your spouse, parents, children, and/or parents-in-law. Pray to the Father…

Day 32, Tishrei 2 – Return with the sacrifice of your lips (2023)
We have stumbled because of our iniquities. Let us return to His ways. He promises to heal our backsliding, love us freely, and make us grow like the lily and flourish as the green cypress tree. Today’s teshuvah (repentance): Two of the 10 commandments relate directly to words, the third commandment “You shall not take…
