Get the app7 Days of Sukkot: Joyfully Remembering All God Has DoneНамуна
Our God of Remembrance
God knows how forgetful we are. So, He established festivals as remembrances to ensure we would not forget what He has brought us out of and what He has done for us. Sukkot is one of those commemorations.
Sukkot is a time to remember with joy; God actually commands it (Deuteronomy 16:14). This joy springs from the intentional act of remembering. The Psalmists often practiced this spiritual discipline, recounting Israel’s history and the many ways God intervened on their behalf. In revisiting past examples of God’s power and faithfulness, these writers found comfort and peace in the circumstances they faced. And they passed on the encouragement to generations after them.
The practice of remembrance imparts strength and inspires us to share about our great God.
What are some of the God-stories in your life? Thank Him for them, and consider sharing His wonders with others so they will be uplifted by God’s goodness.
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.
