He hides us in His succah …

This is the Feast of Tabernacles! This blog was written by my friend, Norma, who lives in Jerusalem. Beautiful way to celebrate. Hope you enjoy and continue to stay under His Tabernacle, His Wings, His refuge. Stop by Norma’s Blog, “From This Mountain”. As an amazing, wise Jewish Believer in Yeshua/Jesus, she has much to share from her mountain apartment that over looks the old City of Jerusalem. 

From This Mountain

Succot or The Feast of Tabernacles begins at sundown tonight. Our succah is built and decorated. But for the first time in the history of Israel, we are not allowed to have guests in them. Israel is under a severe lockdown because of the extremely high incidence of Covid 19.

So I am reminding myself of a few things. And these are more important than our earthly rules and restrictions! I stand on them:

And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth. (John 1:14)

‘And you shall take for yourselves on the first day the fruit of beautiful trees, branches of palm trees, the boughs of leafy trees, and willows of the brook; and you shall rejoice before the LORDyour God for seven days.(Lev. 23:40) 

“Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion! For behold, I am coming and I will dwell in your midst,” says the LORD.(Zech. 2:10)

For in the time of trouble
He shall hide me in His pavilion (Psalm 27:5)

And lastly: 

On the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink.“He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.”(John 7:37-38)

As I sit in our succah this year, I WILL focus on these heavenly facts! Although there are no earthly guests, God Himself is our guest and dwells with us. His succah is both a dwelling place and a hiding place. In this season of pandemic, I am thankful to be WITH Him and hidden in Him! Join with me in praying that Israel will be THIRSTY and come to know our Living Water, Yeshua.

Chag Semeach! Happy, blessed Succot!
