· Psalm 78:32-39
Today is the day
before Lag B’Omer which to some is a remembrance of minor military victories by
the Jewish people in the midst of persecution. This teaches us that we can have
victory even in the middle of challenges to our faith and that His Glory, in
the guise of His Word, is with us!
Today we also have
both Glory and Victory despite most of us are living outside of Israel in
exile. The Rabbi’s and Sages of old said that when His people went into exile
that His Presence in the form of the Shekinah (Glory) went with us. And didn’t
Yeshua say in the Besorah (Gospel) that He’d never leave us of forsake us?
