The Sacred Hebrew Year ended with Chag Sukkot, the Feast of Tabernacles. It was the great and joyous celebration that concluded everything - it’s all about Heaven. Tabernacles reveal that the way of righteousness always ends with joy, real joy. Messiah’s way, the way of Jesus, even when it seems hard, is really the way of joy in disguise. The way of love and sacrifice, repentance and forgiveness all contain the mystery of joy, a mystery because you don’t see it at first, but it always comes if you hold on. They all end in celebration. Messiah did not come so that you’d be miserable - but so you would have joy and that your joy would be complete and lasting. God saves the best for last. And He’s got something wonderful prepared for you. For His last Mystery.... is JOY. So my friend, keep walking the good path until you get it - and I’ll see you at the Feast of Tabernacles in the Kingdom of Heaven.
From Message #565 - The Last Joy
Don't let the problems that you might encounter today steal away the "joy of the Lord" that's in you. God is at work behind the scenes working it all out for your good.
Scripture: John 15:11
