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's reading covers 2 Kings Chapter 6:8-23 and Chapter 8:1-6. Today we will read about the restoration of the land to the woman who had shown Elisha hospitality in Shunam, in Israel, as well as the payment of all the revenue of the land since she had left. We will also read about an army caption of Aram, Naaman, having leprosy and being advised by his servant girl from Israel to go see Elisha in order to be healed. In our discussion for daily application we will talk about how God uses everything for good, even leprosy, and uses seemingly impossible circumstances in our life to draw us to Him. We need only to seek God and have faith in God. God promises that when we seek Him we will find Him! We will be encouraged today to seek God in EVERYTHING we experience in life, no matter how small or big, because God wants us to come to Him and rely on Him for everything. He loves us so much that he deliberately gives us circumstances in life so that we are drawn to Him!
