Today's Reading
Leviticus. Today's Scripture contains an instruction I have questions about, especially given Jesus' compassion for the sick, the hurting and the outcasts. It says, "In all future generations, none of your descendants who has any defect will qualify to offer food to his God." The examples it gives are ones that bring me almost to tears. Perhaps, like other recent Leviticus passages, it is an outward law to teach an inward principle: we must present ourselves wholeheartedly to Him when we worship. What do you think?
Mark. Moses and Elijah weren't just two of the most famous people in Israel's history. Moses represented The Law and Elijah The Prophets. The only Scripture they had in Jesus' day was our Old Testament and the Jewish religion was built on The Law and The Prophets. The Mount of Transfiguration was a statement that Jesus was the fulfillment of both The Law and The Prophets.
Psalms today declares God as "the source of all my joy." I am not sure I can always say that, but that's the way I want it to be.
Proverbs. Perhaps it's better to open up and admit hatred than to hide it, but I would think that it should be in the form of confession and repentance.
I hope to hear from you today.

I agree with you about the Leviticus passage. It seems consistent with how all the other laws represent His desire for us to present ourselves wholeheartedly to Him.
ReplyDeletePsalms has really been speaking to me the last few days. The ungodly people and unjust liars live in my own home. For he is God, my only safe haven. I have been turning to him more and more.
ReplyDeleteRoberta, thanks for sharing yourself with us. I pray that you experience God as your safe haven more and more!
ReplyDeleteRoberta, I enjoyed speaking with you about 'Companions' this morning. I will be praying for your safe haven today - Sun., 2/28. God Bless.
ReplyDeleteThanks Linnyjo-I also enjoyed it. It seems we are struggling with the same things, comprehension and retention. I used to love to read. I could read a book cover to cover in one sitting. Now my mind is so scattered, it's much more complicated. I'm glad to have this forum to get clarification from Sam and of course Ranelle. Have a great week :)
