Brethren, we must examine ourselves during this Feast of Tabernacles to ensure we are not holding back from total commitment to God. Are we compromising with the world to keep peace? Are we running as close to the edge as we can without going over? Are we focusing on others rather than on God? Are we expecting blessings without full dedication? This is our time to become completely committed, to count our blessings, and to see if our commitment matches His. God separates us from this world to keep His Feast so we can recount what He has done and His commitment to His purpose. We must share with one another the miracles, both good and difficult, that have happened in our lives over the past year. We are here to bolster our faith and total commitment to God's purpose by recounting His wonderful plan as expounded through His Word. Our sacrifices during the Feast of Tabernacles, offered from the blessings God has given us, are more than all other holy days combined. We are to eat, drink, and rejoice with purpose, spending time together sharing personal experiences with God and each other. The only thing He seeks is our hearts and our commitment. We must tremble at His Word, meticulously examining and renewing our 100% dedication to Him during this precious time. God takes a census of those He has separated from the world, setting them apart for His service with specific responsibilities around the Tabernacle. This separation and commitment are detailed carefully, and at the end, He commands a blessing upon His people. We must use this Feast wisely to ensure we are worthy of this blessing, fully committed to our separation from this evil world and to the Great God.
