Towards the Feast of Tabernacles

With the Day of Atonement come and gone, I hope you are all well prepared now for the final festival of the season - a week of celebrating and thanksgiving for the year's harvest. We are to remember that everything is given by Yahweh, and without His grace, there would be no harvest, no celebration, no life.

There is a connection between the Feast of Tabernacles and the Holy Spirit, too. Jesus visits Jerusalem on the Feast, and here is what John tells us about the last day of the Feast:

"On the last day of the feast, the great day, Jesus stood up and cried out, "If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, 'Out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.'" (Joh 7:37-38)

Thanksgiving is not restricted to the bounty we are blessed with from our gardens, but should include the gifts of the Spirit, all the teaching and guidance we are granted.

Fear the Lord, celebrate, and be thankful, people of Yahweh !
