Simple Blessings

Joshua 5:9a, 10-12 

“The people of God entered the promised land and there kept the Passover”.

 

Unleavened cakes and parched grain doesn’t sound like much of a menu, but it was a banquet for the Israelites of long ago.

          Freed from slavery in Egypt, they made the long trek through the desert to reach the promised land.  They trudged a long, tiring and dangerous journey.  Moses, their leader, had died.  Now Joshua, his successor, had brought them to their homeland again.

It was Passover, the festival commemorating their departure from Egypt.  So the people celebrated the feast with food from their new home:  unleavened cakes and parched grain.  They no longer ate the food of Egypt.  They no longer ate the manna from the desert.  Now, camped on a plain in Gilgal, they ate the food of their new home, the food of freedom.

You appreciate things more if you have had to go without them.  Food tastes better if you are hungry.  Employment is more satisfying if you were unemployed.  Shelter feels safer if you have been without a home.  God’s presence feels stronger when you rediscover prayer.

 

It may not seem like much

unleavened cakes and parched grain,

but for the Israelites it was a banquet. 

They may not seem like much,

these little blessings God gives us,

but for those who experience God’s mercy,

they are heaven.
