The Dream Harvest…
One of the most amazing and peculiar things about the Jewish people is that for two thousand years, they’ve celebrated the harvest feasts, giving thanks to God for harvests that didn’t exist, sacrificial lambs that were no more, and a Temple that was nowhere to be seen.
It would be as if we celebrated the Fourth of July, but there was no Revolutionary War, Declaration of Independence, Constitution, or nation known as the ‘United States’.
The Jewish people celebrated their nation, which didn’t exist until it did. If you’re born again, you’re part of the commonwealth of Israel. You have to learn to be just as crazy and celebrate that which is yet to come as if it already has.
In the middle of the battle, celebrate the victory. In the middle of the need, celebrate the answer. When you have no reason to celebrate, give thanks and hold your festival. Do it anyway, and God will give all the reasons you need.
For in it, the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, ‘But the righteous man shall live by faith.’ Romans 1:17
Give thanks and celebrate the answered prayers that are yet to come.
Walk daily with God at your side!
Love always,
Ed
