Grain offering to God

Shabbat Shalom from Kent, London. 

*Grain offering to God* 

The Grain sacrifice is not a way to give some portion of food with the religious motive in mind; it is a way to give our labour to God. It’s a form of recognizing His favour, thoughts, provision and approval in our lives. It's simply thanksgiving and showing our gratitude towards Him and His Lovingkindness. It's an intimate relationship building sacrifice but a voluntary one. 

Intimacy can be scary, It's like we feel all exposed and vulnerable. But that's also where the real magic happens. It's where we truly get to know someone and be known by them. It's like a deep connection of love and understanding. And guess what? The God who made us and keeps us going, He's all about that intimacy, too. But here's the thing, many people want to be close to God, but not everyone is ready for what intimacy with Him really means.  

Joel emphasised to change our life, not just our clothes and to come back to God, our God. And here’s why: God is kind and merciful.He takes a deep breath and puts up with a lot, This most patient God, extravagant in love, always ready to cancel catastrophe. Who knows? Maybe He’ll do it now, maybe He’ll turn around and show pity.Maybe, when all’s said and done,there’ll be blessings full and robust for Your God! (Joel 2:13-14 MSG). Hallelujah!!!

Peace be upon The State of Israel and Us. Shalom. 🙏 Have a good weekend. In His Grip..
