You are about to enter the season of holidays. The word "holiday" is rooted in the words holy day. My Word includes many references to holy days. I recognize that there are special seasons that that the Gentiles and Jewish people celebrate. My Jewish people celebrate what they call the "High Holy Days." These holy days include the celebration of the new year and the day of atonement. They also celebrate other holy days like the Feast of Tabernacles, Passover, and Pentecost.
Gentiles consider Sunday, the first day of the week, as their holy day. Jewish people celebrate their holy day on Saturdays. Jewish people celebrate seven feasts. One of those feasts is the "Feast of Dedication" called Chanukah. There was a time when My Father told the Jewish people that He hated their celebrations of the new moons and feast days. The reason He said this was because He knew these were only outward celebrations that had little to do with their intimacy with Him.
As you enter this season of holidays, I want you to make every day a holy day (a day when you spend time in My presence). Make it your goal during this busy season to still your soul and spend intimate times with Me. I never tire of your heart to heart talks with Me.
ISAIAH 1:13-17
