BIBLE TEXT: Deuteronomy 16:1-12
1. Observe the month of Abib, and keep the passover unto the LORD thy God; for in the month of Abib the LORD thy God brought thee forth out of Egypt by night.2. Thou shalt therefore sacrifice the passover unto the LORD thy God, of the flock and the herd, in the place which the LORD shall choose to place his name there.3. Thou shalt eat no leavened bread with it; seven days shalt thou eat unleavened bread therewith, even the bread of affliction; for thou camest forth out of the land of Egypt in haste; that thou mayest remember the day when thou camest forth out of the land of Egypt all the days of thy life.4. And there shall be no leavened bread seen with thee in all thy coast seven days; neither shall there any thing of the flesh, which thou sacrificedst the first day at even, remain all night until the morning.5. Thou mayest not sacrifice the passover within any of thy gates, which the LORD thy God giveth thee;6. But at the place which the LORD thy God shall choose to place his name in, there thou shalt sacrifice the passover at even, at the going down of the sun, at the season that thou camest forth out of Egypt.7. And thou shalt roast and eat it in the place which the LORD thy God shall choose; and thou shalt turn in the morning, and go unto thy tents.8. Six days thou shalt eat unleavened bread; and on the seventh day shall be a solemn assembly to the LORD thy God; thou shalt do no work therein.9. Seven weeks shalt thou number unto thee; begin to number the seven weeks from such time as thou beginnest to put the sickle to the corn.10. And thou shalt keep the feast of weeks unto the LORD thy God with a tribute of a freewill offering of thine hand, which thou shalt give unto the LORD thy God, according as the LORD thy God hath blessed thee;11. And thou shalt rejoice before the LORD thy God, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy manservant, and thy maidservant, and the Levite that is within thy gates, and the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, that are among you, in the place which the LORD thy God hath chosen to place his name there.12. And thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in Egypt; and thou shalt observe and do these statutes.
KEY VERSE: Deuteronomy 16:12

DAILY MANNA DEVOTIONAL FOR TODAY
During the wilderness experience of the children of Israel as they journeyed to Canaan, the Lord instituted some festivals to help His people remember His dealings with them.
The text today records some of the festivals and ceremonies the Lord commanded the children of Israel to observe as a way of commemorating some of the important events of their existence as a nation.
One of such festivals was the feast of Passover. This was to help the nation remember their captivity in Egypt and their miraculous deliverance. There was also the feast of the weeks.
These festivals were not just to be mere religious observances but were meant to serve as sobering moments when they recalled their once captive state, helplessness and the wonder of God’s miraculous deliverance.
These observances were supposed to elicit from them, an attitude of thankfulness and a resolve to remain faithful and loyal to God who had granted them deliverance.
We too have some ordinances that the Lord has commanded us to observe. These are water baptism and Lord’s Supper which we also know as the Holy Communion.
This ordinance is not to be seen as a mere religious observance or approached with a frivolous and carefree attitude. The Lord’s Supper helps us to look back at Calvary with gratitude for what Jesus did for us on the cross and forward to heaven in anticipation of the glorious feast with the Lord at the last marriage supper. These help to put a check on our Christian life.
In doing this, we will grateful unto the Lord and will never think of wandering away from Him.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Never forget where you are coming from and where you are headed!
THE BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 2 Samuel 1-2
