Do Good To Israel

Each year, I look forward to the Jewish High Holidays, the fall feasts of the Lord. I appreciate these special times of remembrance for the Jewish people and as a season of revelation for the Church of our Lord concerning His appointed mo’eds, His set-apart times, established by God and kept by His people.  

In this Jewish holiday season, God remembers your goodness to His people, Israel. He remembers your prayers for her and the kindness you have shown to her. He remembers that you share in His desire to again do good to Israel. He remembers that you have stood with her.

The Lord remembers, and His heart is to reward your righteousness. He rewards you because you favor His righteous cause. Drawing from Israel’s history, Zechariah prophesied something that the Lord is determined to repeat in her future. God promised to show His goodness to Israel! You are a demonstration of Zechariah’s prophecy. 

Concerning the Lord and His Word, for Israel and for the Church, every remembrance is treasured. Days of difficulty when His love disciplines us are good, as also are times of divine favor and reward. Anytime I purposefully call to remembrance the Lord’s hand in my life, His profound goodness covers and lifts me.

The Jewish feast days this year remind us as Christians to invite the goodness of the Lord and His eternal season (Heb. mo’ed) to enter our hearts. Hallow the Lord in your home. Make room for Him. Celebrate Him. Celebrate His goodness. His plan is eternal.

When He is for you, who can be against you? 

Amen.
