As we enter Sukkot, it was explained on a Jewish site (chabad.org), “of all the Jewish holidays, Sukkot is the only one whose date does not seem to commemorate a historic event.” It marks the harvest (Festival of Ingathering) as well as their season of wandering and special provision (Festival of Booths).
The greatest celebration given to God’s people isn’t for a past event. It celebrates a recurring season – and a time to celebrate WHO God is. He is faithful and provides another crop. He is good and delivers His people. It happened. It happens. And it will surely happen again. It is the character of God to provide for His people. He is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow.
What are we waiting for? God reveals Himself clearly in the cycles and seasons of life. He has – and He will. Let’s celebrate!
Praise the LORD.
Praise God in His sanctuary;
praise Him in His mighty heavens.
Praise Him for His acts of power;
praise Him for His surpassing greatness.
Praise Him with the sounding of the trumpet,
praise Him with the harp and lyre,
praise Him with timbrel and dancing,
praise Him with the strings and pipe,
praise Him with the clash of cymbals,
praise Him with resounding cymbals.
Let everything that has breath praise the LORD.
Praise the LORD. Psalm 150
