Adonai made a deal with Abraham to make Him a great nation. When G-d says He will do something, even when His promises do not appear to be materializing, you can trust that He will do it. Rather than trying to help G-d with our Ishmael’s, we should wait on the L-rd to fulfill His promise.

The sins of humanity break the heart of Adonai because He desires a Holy Remnant. Yeshua's rebuke of His congregations in Revelation chapters 2 & 3 reinforce this desire with heart-rending language: "You have lost your first love.”

Sukkot is a time of rejoicing: finding joy again in what Adonai has done. When we rejoice we can create a space for G-d to manifest His Presence in the earth. A Sukkah of Praise is built on three branches that involve remembering, praising, and proclaiming.

Does anything invoke the presence of Adonai? When Israel cried for help, Adonai defeated an impossible army. When the Apostles prayed at Pentecost, Adonai shook their gathering place and filled them with the Ruach. When Paul and Silas prayed, Adonai delivered them from jail. God’s presence manifests in response to our invocation, and the only proper response is to praise Him!

Adonai wants all people to make a decision to trust in Him for redemption and cross over into the eternal promise. Yeshua calls all people to step over into a saving trust in Him - the Jewish Messiah of Israel.

Unhealthy fear navigates life without recognizing G-d is the King and we are not. Fear believes we have to look out for ourselves, worries if there is enough provision for tomorrow, and doubts whether things will work out. We must remember the Word of the L-rd, trust God’s provision, and tell our children about His faithfulness.
