Omer of Manna Revisited...

A while back on Facebook I started a project where I was going to start collecting and posting stories  about things that had happened in my life, God had done/and or spoken over/to me.   I've decided as of today I'm going to  revisit that.  First of all by posting  the initial testimonies, and secondly by  creating new entries over the course of the rest of this year.   I hope this blesses someone.  At minimum I know it will help me to remember God's goodness and the reality of His hand in my life.

 The idea of the title Omer of Manna  comes for God telling Aaron to set back an omer of manna  in a jar in the holy place for future generations.   We are a forgetful people if we don't  set back stories, mementos, or build altars in our life where God  so evidently reached in and touched us-like  they did with the stones from the middle of the jordan as they miraculously crossed it-sometimes we can get so caught up in what the moment    spills on us that we forget we ever realy KNEW God's hand in our life to begin with.  It's not because the past moments in our lives where they intersected with the divine are any less relevant, but because we become so caught up with a finite piece of a much bigger pictures  that we are consumed and shaken by what we see rather than having faith, resting and knowing that the same God who  met us at our point of need a year ago or  a day ago is still right there with us in the middle of the storms of life and has the best outcome in mind for us if we will hold onto him through the fire.

This world is temporal, but God's  sight stretches beyond the finite and into what  we cannot even fathom.  Rest and know that He is a good God.
