Feast of Weeks (Shavuot)

Last night the Lord drew me to Beth Ha'Mashiach (a Messianic congregation) again to celebrate a feast of the Lord. Since He said "these are My feasts," I am honored that He called me to celebrate and come before Him (Lev. 23:2). It was funny that this feast came up this weekend, since we'd been studying it in our End-Times class and in our egroup, as it relates to the End-Times. Each of the seven feasts point to Jesus and all of them will be fulfilled by Him, if they haven't been already. The Feast of Weeks was fulfilled when Jesus ascended into heaven and then sent the Comforter down on a group that was gathered in an upper room. This is now known as Pentecost, or when the Holy Spirit came and descended upon those in the Upper Room with tongues of fire (Acts 2:1-4).

So last night I was blessed to be able to celebrate by offering "fruit" (as a firstfruits offering) on the altar. We tied ribbons around the fruit, bread, or flowers, worshiped and placed the offerings on the altar. It was beautiful and I felt the Lord's pleasure over it. I had brought some white lilies to offer (that the Lord had highlighted to me in the store), which had a special meaning to me, after I had "coincidently" been meditating on Songs 2:2 earlier in the week:

Like a lily among thorns, so is my love among the daughters.


Isn't it funny how the Lord highlights even the smallest things to point to the fact that He is always there and is speaking to us with words of love? He is so good.
