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 are reading Ecclesiastes chapters 4-7. Solomon has so much  wisdom for us today! In our discussion for our daily application today  we will discuss Solomon's closing statement, "God made people to be  right and good, but people went looking for their own way of doing  things."  The world wants us to think that there are many paths and many  ways of doing things, and what is right for one person is not right for another, but Jesus taught us that HE is THE Way, THE truth, and THE  life. He is THE way, not *A* way. God's ways are higher than our ways.  Jesus came to model the behavior God desires of us and to teach us THE  way. Jesus taught us to pray with the Lord's Prayer, God's will be done  (not our own!) and he modeled this behavior when HE prayed, asking for  God's will to be done, not our own will to be done!  Let us all be  encouraged to look for ways to do things GOD'S way, not our own way today and every day.
