Day Forty-three
5th of Sivan 5781 – from sundown on May 15th to sundown on May 16th, 2021
Begin by reciting the following blessing:
ברוך אתה יהוה אלוהינו , מלך העולם , אשר קדשנו במצותי
v'tizivanu al sefirat ha'omer.
Recite the day of the count:
היום שלשה וארבעים יום שהם ששה שבועות ויום אחד לעמר
Psalm 67: (Hebrew Names Version)
Oh let the nations be glad and sing for joy, For you will judge the peoples with equity,
And govern the nations on eretz. Selah.
Let the peoples praise you, God. Let all the peoples praise you.
Psalm 106: 1-5: (NKJV)
Prayer for day 43:
Suggested selections for further reading: 1 Cor 13:8-13
The Sefirot for Day forty-three is: Chesed of Malchut: Love (loving-kindness) in Kingship (Nobility). The only effective rulership over others is benevolent and motivated only out love for ones subjects. If a king fails to safeguard his kingdom, he destroys it and is king over nothing. Therefore the first and foremost requirement of sovereignty is love for others.
Suggested activity for today: If you are in authority over others, do something kind for your subordinates. If not, examine who in your sphere of influence might see you as being one in authority, for example, students, suppliers, store clerks, public servants, etc., and do something kind for one of these people.
Begin by reciting the following blessing:
v'tizivanu al sefirat ha'omer.
Recite the day of the count:
Psalm 67: (Hebrew Names Version)
May God be merciful to us, bless us, And cause his face to shine on us. Selah.
That your way may be known on eretz, And your yeshu`ah among all nations,
Let the peoples praise you, God. Let all the peoples praise you.
Oh let the nations be glad and sing for joy, For you will judge the peoples with equity,
And govern the nations on eretz. Selah.
Let the peoples praise you, God. Let all the peoples praise you.
The eretz has yielded its increase. God, even our own God, will bless us.
God will bless us. All the ends of the eretz shall fear him.
Psalm 106: 1-5: (NKJV)
Praise the Lord! Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever. Who can utter the mighty acts of the Lord? Who can declare all His praise? Blessed are those who keep justice, And he who does righteousness at all times! Remember me, O Lord, with the favor You have toward Your people; Oh, visit me with Your salvation, That I may see the benefit of Your chosen ones, That I may rejoice in the gladness of Your nation, That I may glory with Your inheritance.
Prayer for day 43:
Heavenly Father, we humbly ask that You preserve and protect Your people who are called by your holy Name. Forgive us, shine your face on us and heal our land that has been defiled by the shedding of innocent blood. Sovereign of the universe, You have commanded us through Moses Your servant to count the days of the omer, in order to purify and cleanse us. Therefore, may it be Your will, Lord our God and God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, that in the counting of the omer which I (we) have counted today, I (we) may be purified and sanctified. And through my (our) obedience to your commandments, may Your abundant bounty be granted all the world. May it rectify our soul and our spirit from every impurity and evil intent, and may it purify and sanctify us with all your holiness.
Abba, father, on this, the forty-third day of the counting of the omer, we remember your bountiful kindnesses to the Israelites, how when they departed from Rephidim, you brought them to the Wilderness of Sinai where they camped in front of the mountain. We humbly ask that You in the same way, bring us to a place where we can be made ready to receive the revelation of your purpose for our lives and to be baptized in your holy spirit. Amen.
After the reciting the prayer, continue to pray and meditate on how the people of God camped in the Wilderness of Sinai in front of the mountain and how the disciples waited expectantly in Jerusalem as Yeshua had instructed. Both were about to experience world shaking events that would change the world forever.
