Rejoice in Him
In Isaiah 35, it teaches us about a HIGHWAY, THE WAY OF HOLINESS, in the desert. Though our knees may be feeble and our hands weak, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob tells us:
BE STRONG, FEAR NOT: BEHOLD YOUR GOD WILL COME WITH VENGEANCE, EVEN GOD WITH A RECOMPENCE; HE WILL COME AND SAVE YOU.
SUCCOT is a feast where we are looking forward to this promise He made. It is a time of rejoycing. Although we live in temporary houses/tents/booths, we know that we have LIFE ETERNAL in Jesus! Death and sin have been swallowed up by His death and ressurection. He carried the sin and the penalty of deaht for all mankind. Those who believe, receive all the promises that the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit have in store for us.
Though we may not FEEL happy ALL THE TIME, He told His people that His Holy Convocations are to REJOICE ourselves in Him. There is a time to mourn and there is a time to dance.

Know that God say's to us: you have your worries and difficulties but I AM THE STRONG DEFENDER OF THE WEAK
I will make feelbe knees, STRONG. The lame will even leap as an hart. I AM THE GOD OF THE IMPOSSIBLE. IF GOD is for you, who shall stand against you? THROUGH GOD NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE.

THAT SETTELS IT. Though our circumstances may trouble US, if we FOCUS on HIM we find NEW STRENGHT and NEW JOY. I had to remember what the Spirit and the Bride say in the book of Revelation:
Rev 22:17 And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.
Rev 22:17 And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.
In the same way, God is going to make the parched grountd become a pool, and the thirsty land springs of water (see Isaiah 35:7).
Read Isaiah 35:
Isa 35:1 The wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad for them; and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose.
Isa 35:2 It shall blossom abundantly, and rejoice even with joy and singing: the glory of Lebanon shall be given unto it, the excellency of Carmel and Sharon, they shall see the glory of the LORD, and the excellency of our God.
Isa 35:3 Strengthen ye the weak hands, and confirm the feeble knees.
Isa 35:4 Say to them that are of a fearful heart, Be strong, fear not: behold, your God will come with vengeance, even God with a recompence; he will come and save you.
Isa 35:5 Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped.
Isa 35:6 Then shall the lame man leap as an hart, and the tongue of the dumb sing: for in the wilderness shall waters break out, and streams in the desert.
Isa 35:7 And the parched ground shall become a pool, and the thirsty land springs of water: in the habitation of dragons, where each lay, shall be grass with reeds and rushes.
Isa 35:8 And an highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall be called The way of holiness; the unclean shall not pass over it; but it shall be for those: the wayfaring men, though fools, shall not err therein.
Isa 35:9 No lion shall be there, nor any ravenous beast shall go up thereon, it shall not be found there; but the redeemed shall walk there:
Isa 35:10 And the ransomed of the LORD shall return, and come to Zion with songs and everlasting joy upon their heads: they shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away.
For of YOU, and through YOU, and to YOU, are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen. (Rom 11:36 ). Amen.
For of YOU, and through YOU, and to YOU, are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen. (Rom 11:36 ). Amen.

God Will Send His Angels
Mat 24:30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
Mat 24:31 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
Mat 24:32 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh:
Mat 24:31 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
