Mar 3rd Leviticus 27:14-34 O that every man would do today what is said in verse 14 and sanctify his house. If we were to do an asset inventory today what part of all that we have would we consider "devoted and most holy unto The LORD"? Leviticus has exposed us to the qualifications, responsibilities and duties of the priests. The instruction about the offerings, sacrifices, feasts and the lifestyle for the children was made plain. Now what does this mean for us and what ought our conversation be today?
Numbers 1:1-53 Numbers will expose us to the land, the trials, the test, the wanderings, the battles, the provisions, the spies, the rebellion, the numbering of the tribes and the details of the wilderness journey. We can see GOD in great detail and observe His relationship with His people. We will need to be careful and not become so involved with the circumstances that we miss Him and His majesty.
Mark 11:1-26 shows that obedience is profitable. Just to hear the command and "do it" and then see it come to pass as you were told is exciting! No wonder they cried out " Hosanna; Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the LORD" in verses 5-6. Then what picture comes to your mind as you visualize the "righteous indignation" of The God-man as you read of His dealings with the fig tree and the people in the temple? Jesus issues two proclamations, have faith and forgive!
Psalm 46:1-11 uses the phrase "Selah" 3 times. Selah "means to me" a command to stop, listen, consider and heed what you are hearing and being told then to learn and meditate on that truth before you advance farther. To admit an agree with GOD that He is my "refuge" causes me to be confident in Him and His Word.
Proverbs 10:23 ought to cause us to not be playing around. Let us be right, careful, delibirate, diligent, prudent and wise children of God on purpose. pj
