OMER 32



“Today is thirty-two days, which are four weeks and four days of the Omer.”

Theme of the Week: Hod - Glory
Theme of the Day: Netzach - Victory
Overall Theme: The Victory of His Glory


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 went with us. And didn’t Yeshua say in the Besorah that He’d never leave us of forsake us?


The Traditional Psalm to read is Psalm 78:32-39:


For all this they sinned still, and believed not for his wondrous works. Therefore their days did he consume in vanity, and their years in trouble. When he slew them, then they sought him: and they returned and enquired early after God. And they remembered that God was their rock, and the high God their redeemer. Nevertheless they did flatter him with their mouth, and they lied unto him with their tongues. For their heart was not right with him, neither were they stedfast in his covenant. But he, being full of compassion, forgave their iniquity, and destroyed them not: yea, many a time turned he his anger away, and did not stir up all his wrath. For he remembered that they were but flesh; a wind that passeth away, and cometh not again.

“HalleluYah Abba YHWH Elohim that regardless where we are, even if what we perceive it as a “hell” that Your with us. Thank You, In Yeshua’s Name, Ameyn.”
