Today's Reading

Today we read the final verses of Leviticus, containing specific instructions about the gifts we bring to God. Then, as now, many people wanted to get away with giving as little as possible.

The book of Numbers is about, well, numbers! Everything and everyone counts and Numbers kept track. In the midst of the tallying are a few great, memorable stories from Israel's history.

Mark. The people wanted a king who would free them from Roman tyranny. Jesus came as a King who would free their hearts. A conquering king would have ridden into the city on a war horse. Jesus rode in on a donkey. His way was the way of a Servant.

Psalm 46. In all the chaos, "Be still and know..."

Proverbs. The only way to change what people deeply want is to change their hearts.
