Do yourself a favor and start celebrating Sukkot this year – even if you don’t fully understand it. Believe me, it will change your whole view of what the Bible says and, more importantly, what God says.

Two years ago I decided to honor the feast of Sukkot by camping out in my back yard. I didn’t know why God would ask His children to do such a thing. I set up a tent in my back yard and went to sleep outside. It took less than five minutes for God to pump so much insight into my being that I started to feel as if I were nothing more than a shell for Him to fill. I thought of things I never thought of before while I laid in that tent. Each night built upon the next and, by the time it was over, I was sad that it had to end. But I instantly looked forward to the next year.

This world offers fool’s gold. God offers true treasure that cannot be expressed in words. Sukkot will not only blow your socks off, it will revolutionize your belief. You will transcend time and space. We become our ancestors and their story pierces our soul.

I didn’t tell many folks I was celebrating Sukkot that first time – I didn’t need to. Nor does anyone else. Do it for yourself and feel the presence of the Most High. You will never want to not celebrate Sukkot ever again. Praise God!
