Lesson Highlights
In this lesson God gives specific instructions to Moses for the children of Israel on how to celebrate the Festival of Booths. It was a time of happiness, rejoicing and also a reminder of what God had done in providing for his children. He had provided their every need! The Festival was to last seven days with day 1 and day 8 being complete days of rest. Note that the Festival was God ordained - not just your regular "annual day." Not a fundraiser, but a time set aside to honor God - a time of Holiness and presentations of special gifts to the Lord. It was stated that they should celebrate with joy before the Lord your God for seven days! During the Festival they were also to live outside in small shelters or booths. This action would remind them of how God had delivered them from the Land of Egypt. By doing this every year at the God appointed time, they along with their children and generations to come would remember the goodness and greatness of God.
How can we apply this lesson to our lives today? What does it teach us?
First, we must be obedient in following God's instructions for our lives. Many times we fail because of our disobedience to God's will for us. We must obey God's instructions. Secondly, we must always remember God's goodness towards us. Sometimes we get overwhelmed with the cares of this world. We must always take time to read and reflect on God's word; spend time with God on a daily basis so that when these times come, and they will come, we will remember the faithfulness of our God. Thirdly, we must tell our children, grandchildren, and generations to come about our God and how He has saved us, provided for us, and kept us through the years. These things should be passed from generation to generation. How else will they know? It is a good idea to have special family and church celebrations to honor God! Always remembering His goodness and great faithfulness and thanking Him for His continued care and blessings for us. We must continue to tell the story!
