There is so much blessing to the one that fears Thee, Adonai, and walks in accordance with Your ways. In truth, such a one experiences life in all its fullness. Every aspect of his life is blessed by You in accordance with Your promises. So many look to Thee for blessings, praying for some earthly need or the other. And while there is nothing wrong with that, such people totally ignore the commandment, "Seek first His kingdom and His righteousness." They have the order wrong. Yet to those who fear Thee and walk in accordance with Thy instructions, such are happy when they eat the labour of their hands. They delight because it is well with them.
In April this year, beginning with the Feast of Unleavened Bread and leading up to the 50 days to Pentecost, I covered the first six Psalms of the Song of Ascents. These Psalms was sung when Israel would go up to Jerusalem for the three appointed feast days of the Lord. The Fall feast days are now at hand. Today (Sept. 10) is the "Day of Trumpets" or "Yom Teruah". September 18 is "Yom Kippur" or the "Day of Atonement" and then from September 23 evening begins the 7 days "Feast of Tabernacles" or "Succoth".
Beginning where I left off on Pentecost, I now continue the next Song of Ascents and will continue this till the great day of the feast (Jn. 7:37) which is the last day of Succoth.
Remember, that just as Yeshua fulfilled the spring appointed days at His first coming, we know for sure that this too He will fulfill at His second coming. Therefore we wait eagerly for the fulfillment of the Fall appointed days, for these days are appointed by God Himself (Lev. 23:1-44). Till then, my hope is that each of us will stay in the truth and not be found "sleeping" like the five foolish virgins.
