Get the app7 Days of Sukkot: Joyfully Remembering All God Has DoneSample
Remembering God’s Presence
As the Israelites roamed the desert, they did so with the guidance of God’s presence, which was represented in a pillar of cloud by day and fire by night. After the tabernacle – a tent – was built, God’s glory resided in the innermost room called the Holy of Holies. The word sukkot means “booths” or “tents,” and the temporary structures we build to observe the Feast of Sukkot depict God’s desire to live in fellowship with His people.
Today, His presence lives within those who have placed their faith in Messiah Yeshua. (John 16:5–15.)
It‘s awe-inspiring to ponder the fact that the holy God of the universe loves us so much that He would want to dwell within us. He is as close as our silent prayers and is always with us. All that He is and gives is available to us in His presence. By His presence, He comforts and strengthens us. He calms our fears and lifts our spirits. He provides us with a peace that surpasses understanding (Philippians 4:6–7).
Look back and remember a time when you particularly felt God’s presence and how it helped you. Thank Him for the gift of His never-failing presence.
About this Plan
Rabbis teach that, at Sukkot, we recount four things: that God is a God of remembrance, deliverance, holiness and provision. There are three more that, as Messianic Jewish Believers, we find appropriate to celebrate during the Feast of Sukkot: God’s protection, His presence, and our relationship with Him. Join us each day of Sukkot for another devotion focusing on one of these remembrances.
