We Are Blessed To Have A Savior

During the daylight hours today we experience the first day of the Feast of Tabernacles. This is the fall festival many speak about and is a day when we are build a tabernacle outside our house and dwell in it for the length of the feast. The Feast is seven days plus a High Holy Day on the eighth day. If we follow the lineages and the events in the scripture we can see that Yeshua (Jesus) was born on the first day of Sukkot (the Feast of Tabernacles) and was circumcised on the eighth day. Both of these are High Holy Days in the scriptures.

We are blessed above all people to have the God of the universe as our Loving Father. We are blessed above all people to have the Yeshua (Jesus) as our Lord and Savior who died for us that we might have forgiveness from our sins and access to eternal life with God.

Today is a good day to reflect on these blessings!

Prayer
Father, we praise and exalt You as the Most High God. Thank You for sending your Son to earth on this day some 2,000 years ago. Thank You for allowing Him to die for us, and be raised from the dead, that we might have eternal life. And Happy Birthday, Yeshua (Jesus)! In Yeshua’s (Jesus’) name. Amen.
