The Better Travel Plan By Anthony Wasilkoff God set up a financial system that allows us to have maximum enjoyment while keeping His annual Feast of Tabernacles.
t this time of year, we come across many advertisements urging us to take a summer vacation somewhere exotic. Pictures of Mexico, Portugal and Spain beckon the work-weary individual to enjoy all the amenities that those balmy regions have to offer. When the potential traveler wonders about the costs involved, the real figures are often hidden by the use of the preposition "from."
God's travel plan Our loving Creator has given us this annual fall festival as a vacation with Him. We experience more than a week of educational and spiritual learning. We meet different people in various venues. We travel to different parts of the country and different parts of the world. The opportunity for broadening our horizons on many levels is vast. But what about the finances? How do we pay for all this?
Deuteronomy 14:22-25 states: "You shall truly tithe all the increase of your grain that the field produces year by year...[T]hat you may learn to fear the LORD your God always. But if the journey is too long for you, ...then you shall exchange it for money, take the money in your hand, and go to the place which the LORD your God chooses." Thousands of adherents to God's Holy Days have followed this savings plan for decades. The festival tithe is deposited in a separate account and is used exclusively to observe each of the seven festivals. Of course, the bulk of this expense occurs while celebrating the Feast of Tabernacles.
Still time to save The fall Holy Days are a few months away. There is still time left to save for those wonderful occasions in accordance with God's saving plan. The intent of our Creator is that we can rejoice at His festivals and do so without going into debt. His design is that instead of "going now and paying later," we "save now and feast later." God's ways are superior and they really do work. How wonderful are the Holy Days and how wonderful is the financial plan to observe them.
