What does Yom Kippur mean? The day of Atonement? Literally, it means "The Day of KIPPUR" or 'COVERING.' Often the word is written, not as YOM KIPPUR, but YOM HA KIPPURIM, the day of the COVERINGS. God's covering is so great that the word COVERING cannot quite contain it, so it is KIPPURIM, COVERINGS. In the Bible it is written that Messiah is the fulfillment of Yom Ha Kippurim. So Messiah is our Covering, or rather OUR COVERINGS.

It means if you've received Him every one of your sins is covered. And it means more... When you need someone to protect you, He's, as we say, ''gotcha covered.'' In ancient times, when a man offered a woman his love, his house, his protection, his life, he would spread his cloak over her. In that way too, He's gotcha covered. So my friend, celebrate the coverings and walk in joy because the Day of Atonement is really Yom Ha Kippurim, the Day of the Coverings. And if you don't remember that, just remember HE'S GOTCHA COVERED.

TODAY'S MISSION
Act today and move ahead, in His will, in an area where you've been fearful, knowing that He's watching over you.

Psalm 32:1
Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, Whose sin is covered.
