—Nehemiah 8:13-18
by: Linda Harris.
We noted earlier in the week that the Feast of Tabernacles signified that coming to the Promised Land meant the Israelites no longer lived in tents. To the returning exiles, this surely had immense significance. Whether they lived in tents or houses in Babylon, it was temporary. Now in the land of their fathers, they were able to build permanent dwellings.
Whether you live in an apartment, a rented house, or a mansion you own, your home is only temporary. If Jesus is your Lord, your true home is in heaven. Do you anticipate heaven? Do you long to dwell in the presence of God?
