‘Counting the Omer’ is an ancient daily practi

‘Counting the Omer’ is an ancient daily practice, commanded in Leviticus 21:15-16, which marks the time between Pesach (Passover) and Shavuot(Pentecost). An omer is a unit of measure for grain. In the same way that we may measure flour in cups, quarts or grams for our cooking recipes, the ancient Israelites would use omers or ephahs. An omer of grain is offered on the Feast of First Fruits, which we know as Easter or Resurrection Sunday. First Fruits marks the early grain harvest, and is symbolic of Jesus’ resurrection as a type of first fruits of the coming resurrection of all believers. So, ‘Counting the Omer’ connects the observances of Passover, First Fruits, and Pentecost. The Protestant Church knows these days more familiarly as the 50 days to Pentecost. Every evening from the second night of Passover to the day before Shavuot (Pentecost), another day is counted, marking the 49 days (seven weeks) between these two holidays.

Remember, when God led Israel out of Egypt, the congregation really didn’t know Him. The journey from the Red Sea to Sinai was an opportunity for the Israelites to come to know Him and to understand His goodness, and indeed, during those 50 days He showed Himself to be Jehovah-Jireh (provider), Jehovah-Rapha (healer), Jehovah-Rohi (shepherd), and Jehovah Nissi (banner of victory). For us, we can use these days to get to know God and His Ways more deeply, growing in love and trust.

For the Night Watches:

This week we looked at the Hebrew letter Qof/Kuf, which is the letter associated with the month of Adar (the current Jewish month). Qof is the letter of holiness, and oh, did I deepen my understanding of the concept of holiness as I studied. Here is just a little excerpt:

❤️❤️❤️
By Christ and Christ alone do we receive the gift of holiness. It is quite a tension we must learn to walk in - having all of His holiness already imputed to us, and yet being called to be holy. We are left wondering, along with the Apostle Paul in Romans 6 and 7, how we are to live as spiritual people when our flesh is still enslaved to sin. Of course, the great chapter of Romans 8 provides answers, as does much of the New Testament. By the sheer volume of teaching given to this subject, we should know it isn't easy, but Jesus, through the Holy Spirit empowers us!

Our flesh is still connected by habits to this world and is at odds with God Who is Holy. We want to bring our lives into conformity with Him, but the order is important!

The gift of holiness first
The work of holiness second.

I don’t work to become sufficiently holy to make connection with God ; I’m connected by grace, and exercise my responsibility to conform to holiness because I am connected.

The tension between the gift and the work can be summed up in the statement of "I must decrease, but He must increase" (John 3:30). My habits of the flesh must decrease, but the character and nature of Christ in me must increase. Are you seeing the connection with roots and water and seeds from previous weeks?

❤️❤️❤️
