Discovering God’s Purposes by Relating with Him through the Lord’s Feast of TrumpetsSummary In addition, trumpets were used to proclaim the entry of a king. Therefore, on this high-holiday, we also proclaim Messiah Jesus, the LORD King of the Universe, and honor His kingship and authority over all creation. David kept a soft heart before God, and maintained a practice of self-examination to stay right with God. “Examine me, O LORD, and prove me; Try my mind and my heart.” (Psalm 26:2 NKJV) For this same reason, Paul admonishes us to examine ourselves before participating in the Lord’s communion. “So let a person examine himself first, and then he may eat of the bread and drink from the cup; 29 for a person who eats and drinks without recognizing the body eats and drinks judgment upon himself.” (1 Corinthians 11:28-29 JNT)
Life Application Questions How do you maintain the discipline of self-examination? How do you allow the Holy Spirit to convict your heart so you can receive the grace of His mercy? In what ways do you allow the Holy Spirit to change your inner attitudes so you can come into compliance with God’s ways and by God’s grace, change outward behaviors?
