This guest Blog post is by David L. Cook, author of Golf’s Sacred Journey: The Sequel—7 More Days in Utopia (Zondervan, 2018), a modern-day parable about golfer Luke Chisholm and his rival, both pursuing their common dream of winning the US Open while tackling trials, overcoming fear, and experiencing redemption. In this post, we find Luke deep in thought the morning of day five in Utopia when his mentor Johnny shows up to dispense his usual dose of divine wisdom.

The Jewish holiday of Shavuot—the Feast of Weeks—is also known in Greek as Pentecost. It commemorates the bringing of the “firstfruits” as an offering to God in thankful acknowledgment of his abundant blessings. Ponder what it means to be thankful for God’s provision for you when you sign up to receive the brief 5-day free email devotional by the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews, The Feast of Weeks. Also included in each day's devotional is a different Hebrew word-of-the-day; a fun way to learn five new Hebrew concepts.
