The New Year That Never Was

Tuesday, November 10, 2020

Rosh Ha Shannah means head of the year - the New Year. It's the Jewish New Year. There's only one problem - The Feast of Trumpets takes place in the 7th month of the Jewish year! God mixed it all up. In Exodus 12, He made the old 7th month - the new New Year and the old New Year, the new 7th month. God wants us to learn the secret of celebrating at the wrong time. When you're persecuted, He wants you to leap for joy. When you're weak, He wants you to celebrate His riches. When you're alone, He wants you to celebrate His fellowship. When you're in bondage, in trouble, or rejected - celebrate His freedom, His peace, and His love. In the face of death, celebrate His life and His new beginning. Learn the secret of Rosh Ha Shannah, the mixed up New Year! Don't wait for the right time or the blessings to celebrate - celebrate and it will become the right time and you will have the blessings. Celebrate today because it's exactly the wrong time. That's the time to celebrate. Happy New Year!
