Deut 16:15 Seven days shalt thou keep a solemn feast unto the LORD
thy God in the place which the LORD shall choose: because the
LORD thy God shall bless thee in all thine increase, and in all the works
of thine hands, therefore thou shalt surely rejoice.
Sukkot (the Feast of Tabernacles) started a few
nights ago throughout the world. The feast of Sukkot commemorates
the time in which God led the Israelites through the wilderness for 40
years, providing them with every need on a daily basis – shelter, food,
water and clothing. Interestingly, during Sukkot, the book of
Ecclesiastes is read in the synagogues-- but Ecclesiastes speaks of the
vanity of materialism.
How can we find a balance between feasting in God’s provision and
wallowing in worldly materialism? The answer is simple.
If our focus lies on all of our abundance without acknowledging the
Provider, then it is all vanity! But if our focus is on the Lord and His
desire for our lives, then He provides us with all that is pure and
holy.
Feast in the Lord for all that He has
provided and enter into the season of Sukkot! (George, Baht Rivka, Elianna & Obadiah)
