Small Straws by Marsha Burns
Beloved, it seems like there is always one more thing you have to do to accomplish what has been set before you. But you are like a seed that has been planted; you had to put down roots and struggle up through the soil to find the sunlight. You have endured the wind, been refreshed by the rain, and had to endure temperature changes in light and in darkness. I tell you the truth that all that you have been through has made you stronger and caused you to seek My face, says the Lord. And here you are! Psalm 27:8 My heart says of you, Seek his face! Your face, Lord, I will seek.

Something just dawned on me. The first Passover happened in the month the barley was abib in Egypt, not Isrsel. The 40 years in the wilderness: what barley did they judge? In the Babylonian exile, did they go by Babyloms barley? Why do those of us not in Israel today try to go by Israels barley? If we didnt have technology, we would find out too late that the barley was abib. It grows much slower here in Iowa because of our harsh winters than it does in Israel. How do we know when to plant it?

What a thought. I can understand when in the southern hemisphere as the barley season is 6 months different to the north.

As far as I remember, the later instruction was to look at Jerusalem, bearing in mind it wasn't a "place" yet while they were in the wilderness. I'll have to look at which verse it is.

BUT, what about when they were in the wilderness??? ?

Thank you! That makes a lot of sense! True, it should not be used as an only witness, but as confirmation. I havent studied the ancient constellations much, mostly because I didnt have good info on them. I will look up these other two names for virgo ans see what they say. My daughter says we can see it up here in Iowa. She likes to watch the stars when its dark enough and not cloudy. Thank you for this nugget of info!

Blessed are You our Holy YHVH, King and Creator of the universe. You give us life and You continually renew and refresh us with Your presence and Your love. You are the Strength of the weak and the light to all who walk in darkness. Holy is Your Name and all praise be to You. Adonai, may You grant us grace today that we can reveal Your joy and power in our daily living. We ask Your blessing upon Your people that it may be obedient to Your Word and seek to bring others to know Your glory. We ask You to bless all preachers and teachers of Your Word, that they may have the power to reveal You and Your love to others. Adonai Elohim, we pray that we may use the world aright. Let us not squander or waste the resources You have given us but use them to Your glory and the benefit of all. We pray for all who monitor our planet and its resources. We ask Your blessing upon all scientists and politicians and all people who work to care for and improve our world. We also pray for all people who suffer from deprivation, from poverty, from hunger and from homelessness. We give thanks for our own homes and all You have given us. We pray for those who provide us with our food and our daily needs. We ask Your blessing upon all who work to provide good homes and shelters to the poor of our world.

Abba, hear us and refresh us and accept this prayer for the sake of Your loving Son and our Saviour, Yeshua Moshiach, amen.
