Tabernacles – Day 8

“As the Father loved me, I also loved you. Remain in my love…I have spoken these things to you, that My joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be full.
– John 15:9, 11

It is the final day of Sukkot, the season when God’s plan and purpose is for you to feel the embrace of His loving arms around you more than ever before, when He holds you close to Himself and says to you, “I want all of you: the inside, the outside, the part of you that can respond by praising and worshiping and the part that cannot do anything. I want the best parts. I want all of you. I will never leave you. I want you to abide with me forever.”

God’s purpose in drawing you near to Him during the Feast of Tabernacles is not to blame you for something, but to draw you closer to His indwelling Holy Spirit, as you journey through your everyday life.

Your body is the temple, the tabernacle, the meeting place of God. Follow His still, small voice every day, as He walks with you, and as you walk with Him.

I praise You, dear Lord, for Your divine embrace. Thank You for drawing me close to You, by the power of Your Spirit.
