Today is the 8th Day of the Feast of Tabernacles, which was called the last and greatest day. This was the day when Jesus stood up and said, "whoever believes in me, out of his innermost being will flow rivers of living water."
This day is symbolic of a fresh start or new beginning. The yearly cycle is coming to a close and starting over, which is like a fresh start. It is a reminder to dedicate ourselves to a new standard in our lives, where grace is our interface. We all have buttons that can be pushed in our lives that make us respond in a way that is not so graceful, but God's grace is available to help. This new way of living pays attention to how we are responding in life and makes fast adjustments by relying and trusting in God's grace and power to change us from the inside out. When done this way we can stay refreshed all the time, because we can rest in our soul while God does his work through us.
As we take communion today let it be a reminder that Jesus was and is full of grace and truth, and his sacrifice gave us access into God's grace.
I am praying for you.
Daniel
