Thank you for joining me as we learn about the connection between  Passover, First Fruits, and Shavuot (Pentecost) today. As part of  understanding and observing the festivals that God has appointed for us  to observe we count the Omer today and then we will 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  Congregation Shoresh David in Florida:  https://www.shoreshdavid.org/download/counting-the-omer-booklet/ 

Today we will begin reading the book of Ecclesiastes, written by King  Solomon. Today's reading will cover chapters 1-3. We will read about  King Solomon searching for happiness and learning through his pursuit to  find happiness the best thing to do to be happy is to enjoy work! Can  you believe it? WORK is the key to being happy! That is so contrary to  the world's view of the pursuit of happiness! Being happy in our work is  God's gift to us! So how do we be happy in our work? In our discussion  today we will talk about reading the book Living Fearless, written by Jamie Winship. This book  talks about exchanging the lies that the enemy tells us about who we are  for the truth of who God says He made us to be. Doing this will help us  BE who God made us to be so that we can BE who we are in EVERYTHING  that we do, which will then allow us to look at the work we do with a  whole new perspective and allow us to be happy in the work that we do  because will realize the unique value that we were created to bring into  the work we do! Voila! We are happy in our work and thus happy in our  day, looking forward to the work we will do today, rather than dreading  it! It is God's gift to us!
