Fourth Sunday of Lent
Joshua 5:9a, 10-12
Simple Blessings
Unleavened cakes and parched grain do not sound like
much of a menu. But it was a banquet for the Israelites
of long ago.
Freed from their 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.
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 de-
sert. 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 satisfies more 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—the little blessings
God gives us, but for those who experience God’s
mercy, they are heaven.
