Weekly Encouragement

“'Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion!

For behold, I am coming and I will live among you’ —it is a declaration of Adonai.

‘In that day many nations will join themselves to Adonai

and they will be My people and I will dwell among you.’

Then you will know that Adonai-Tzva’ot has sent me to you.

Adonai will inherit Judah as His portion in the holy land and will once again choose Jerusalem.

Be silent before Adonai, all flesh, for He has aroused Himself from His holy dwelling.”

- Zechariah 2:14-17


Adonai has always desired to dwell among His people and His eyes have never left Jerusalem unguarded. Sukkot serves as a reminder to trust Adonai and to seek refuge in His presence. In the sukkah, we are surrounded by His shelter and we get a taste of that day when Messiah Yeshua will return to rule, to reign, and to dwell with us. May we find shalom and renewal in this season of our rejoicing.
