Counting the Omer Psalms 119:137-144 Day 40

Leviticus 23:15-16 (NKJV) 15 ‘And you shall count for yourselves from the day after the Sabbath, from the day that you brought the sheaf of the wave offering: seven Sabbaths shall be completed. 16 Count fifty days to the day after the seventh Sabbath; then you shall offer a new grain offering to the Lord.

137 Righteous are You, O Lord,
And upright are Your judgments.
138 Your testimonies, which You have commanded,
Are righteous and very faithful.
139 My zeal has consumed me,
Because my enemies have forgotten Your words.
140 Your word is very pure;
Therefore Your servant loves it.
141 I am small and despised,
Yet I do not forget Your precepts.
142 Your righteousness is an everlasting righteousness,
And Your law is truth.
143 Trouble and anguish have overtaken me,
Yet Your commandments are my delights.
144 The righteousness of Your testimonies is everlasting;
Give me understanding, and I shall live.​

Exodus 3:20, 4:21; Deuteronomy 6:22; Joshua 3:5; Isaiah 8:18; Daniel 4:2-3, 6:27; Joel 2:3; Nehemiah 9:17;  Psalm 77:11, 77:14; 88:12; 89:5; 96:3; 105:5; 107:23; 136:4; Matthew 24:24; Mark 13:22; John 4:48; Acts 2:19; 2:22; 5:12, 6:8; Romans 15:19; Hebrews 2:4

What do you do when you are truly seeking a word from the Lord God Almighty but get an interruption?  What is your response to technical difficulties?  Do you go off and do your own study of the Bible?  Sit quietly in prayer?

Genesis 19:10 But the men put forth their hand, and pulled Lot into the house to them, and shut to the door.
2 Kings 4:33 He went in therefore, and shut the door upon them twain, and prayed unto the Lord.

Matthew 6:6 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.

John 20:19 Then the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, came Jesus and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.

Fiveamprayer we have to shut the door to distractions and truly seek Him!  If you are isolated from the others studying the word of God what do you do?  Who do you depend on to feed you manna from heaven?  If your car breaks down, does that prevent you from your set aside time with Yahweh, if you are not able to assemble with others, do you seek Him alone?  Does the circumstance change what you do or just where you do it?  So you can have church in your house because your car is down or is that an excuse not to study at all?  Is there really any distraction that can keep Elohim from you?
