Leviticus 21-27

1 thought on “Leviticus 21-27”

1. Observation:
   The passage starts with a very detailed description how the priest – Aaron and his sons – how to be holy before the Lord for the Lord God makes them holy. That refrain is found through – ‘I am the Lord, who makes them holy.’ And to show that you know that the Lord is the Lord, these are the rules and regulations on how you shall live – holy before the Lord. Therefore also the appointed festivals – all pleasing unto the Lord. And for the generations o come. Do this and live.

   The people did the celebrating in the Lord’s presence many days – a visual reminder of the Lord’s presence and the Lord’s faithfulness that He was and is and will be their Provider. Be holy for the Lord God is holy.

   The laws given were not only for the people’s relation to the Lord, but also for the land so that the land could be renewed – practical laws and yet laws for life so that the land could increase and at the same time to see God’s power and faithfulness for giving their daily food. – yielding the fruit. He is their Provider.

   Application:
   In my daily living, how do I see that the Lord God is my Provider – the Giver of all gifts received. How do I observe His presence in my life today such as the Sabbath Day, my ‘land'(material possessions), my obedience in following His laws for my life. How do I recognize that the Lord, my Lord is my God in my living for Jesus this day. How do I follow His ways today?

   Prayer:
   Lord, help me to listen and live this day in obedience to Your Way. Help me to stop, look and listen daily for Your presence in my life. Lead me and guide me in Your Way.

   Jehovah Jireh
   My provider
   His grace is sufficient
   For me, for me, for me
   Jehovah Jireh
   My provider
   His grace is sufficient for me

   My God shall supply all my needs
   According to his riches in glory
   He will give His angels
   Charge over me
   Jehovah Jireh cares
   For me, for me, for me
   Jehovah Jireh cares for me
