Temporary Dwellings – What’s the Purpose and What Can We Learn From Them?

God tells us to keep this Feast in temporary dwellings as a reminder of what He did when He brought Israel out of Egypt and the blessings and protection He provided them. There are four lessons we can learn from the Feast of Tabernacles: (1) this is a reminder of God’s blessings and protection; (2) we need to be willing to follow God where He leads us; (3) life is temporary and (4) our physical home is our temporary home. Don’t forget what you learned at this Feast and never let go!
