Thank you for joining me as we learn about the connection between Passover, First Fruits, Shavuot (pronounced shav-oo-oat) and Pentecost. As part of understanding and observing the festivals that God has appointed for us to observe, we count the Omer (pronounced oh-mare) today and then have our daily Bible reading session!
Here is the link for a downloadable devotional if you would like to count the Omer for yourself. It has been put out by the Messianic Jewish Congregation Shoresh David in Florida: https://www.shoreshdavid.org/download/counting-the-omer-booklet/
Today we will read 2 Kings Chapter 4: 38-44, Chapter 6: 1-7, and Chapter 3. We will read some more amazing things God did through the prophet Elisha. In our discussion we will read a little deeper, using the big Bible, to understand exactly what all was going on during the events we read about today. For our daily application we will talk about several important things: we need to obey when God gives us a task to do, such as when he told the 3 kings that they would not only win against the Moab king but they were to also stop up springs of water, fill the fields with rocks, and cut down all their trees, which they did. We will talk about how God uses people to accomplish His plans and meets us where we are, such as king Joram, who still did evil in God's sight, but he cut down the pillar to Baal. We will discuss the parallel between what God has been teaching us recently and my lost necklace, using the Rabbi to reference and parallel the very event we just read about TODAY, the floating axe head, when I told him about my lost necklace and my faith that God was going to return it. Lastly, we will talk about how we can have faith in God to bring EVERYTHING to Him, whatever it is, because God is SOOO faithful to us and wants us to rely on Him! This is the point where my internet cut out, but we were so close to the end that I just left the recording as-is.
