Recharge | Spring: Week 10 | Joy

God designed biblical festivals to be joyful celebrations, not just solemn obligations. These gatherings, which occupied about three months of the Jewish calendar year, were meant for rest, feasting, and communal fellowship. The festivals included sharing meals, expressing gratitude, and enjoying God's presence while maintaining moral boundaries. Unlike pagan festivities, these celebrations focused on thanking God, caring for the vulnerable, and strengthening community bonds.
