"If thou faint in the day of adversity, thy strength is small."
Pr 24
Exodus 13:4, “Today, in the month of Abib, you are leaving.” Just about every year there is the same discussion about the barley and when it is at the correct stage of ripeness. Sadly there are some who have never seen barley grow who enter the conversation and stir controversy. I would encourage those who want to enter the discussion to be more proactive. Don’t simply watch a video and think you have become an expert. Go find someone growing barley and ask if they would be willing to show you the different stages of how the grain ripens. Don’t be afraid to get your hands a little dirty while gaining some real life experience.
It is easy to get distracted or demotivated in this world we live in. But if you should feel down in any way today -- make this poem your own:
Don’t Quit
When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all uphill,
When the funds are low, and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest if you must, but don't you quit.
Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As every one of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about,
When he might have won had he stuck it out;
Don't give us though the pace seems slow,
You may succeed with another blow.
Success is failure turned inside out,
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems so far.
So, stick to the fight when you are hardest hit,
It's when things seem worse that you must not quit
Thought for Today: Friday April 04
Listen more to YHVH today and less to your own doubts and fears. He is leading you along the way He designed just for you. It may feel like a lonely way – humanly speaking, but He goes before you, alongside you, so that you are never alone. He is revealing to you the path of life day by day, moment by moment and step by step. Do what He commanded His followers --- “Follow Him”!

If his offering is a sacrifice of peace offering, if he offers an animal from the herd, male or female, he shall offer it without blemish before YHWH.
Leviticus 3:1
A peace offering can be any unblemished animal from the bovine, caprine, or ovine categories. Since it is intended to be a shared feast, none of the sacrificial birds would be appropriate.
There is no special provision for the poor. If you couldn't afford a peace offering, you just didn't bring one.
The peace offering was a community event, a party with God as the guest of honor. Most of the meat went back to the worshiper who was to share it with his family and friends. It was divided into 3 portions (Leviticus 3):
1) The visceral fat, kidneys with their fat, and long lobe of the liver belong to God. It was burned on the altar, on top of the daily burned offering.
2) The right thigh and breast belong to the priest (Leviticus 7).
3) The rest belongs to the worshiper and his community and must be entirely eaten on the same day.

...by the power of signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit of God—so that from Jerusalem and all the way around to Illyricum I have fulfilled the ministry of the gospel of Christ.
Romans 15:19 ESV
Paul carried Yeshua’s healing power with him wherever he went. He healed the sick, survived mortal wounds, and even raised the dead. Just as he did to bring the Hebrews out of Egypt, God uses such miracles to ease the suffering of his people, but also to show his power to both them and the nations.
For I will not venture to speak of anything except what Christ has accomplished through me to bring the Gentiles to obedience—by word and deed...
Romans 15:18 ESV
Paul is saying that he would take no credit for the sanctification of the mixed multitude that God was calling out of the nations.
Obedience to the Law of God is a primary goal of evangelism. It isn’t enough to say “I believe” if your behavior doesn’t change. Belief without obedience is a lie. Paul didn’t reach the nations of his day through mere speech, but through walking out the word. He obeyed the Law throughout his life. When he “became as a Greek” to the Greek, he didn’t mean that he sacrificed at their temples, kept their holy days, and ate unclean animals, but that he met them where they were, speaking to them in words and concepts they could understand and humbling himself to walk among them and fellowship with them.
