The Children of Israel were instructed to take their sacrifices and sin offerings to the tabernacle.  Otherwise, they were guilty of unlawful bloodshed.

New Testament Christians are encouraged to faithfully fellowship with their brothers and sisters in Christ.

Paul said, “Don’t forsake the assembling of yourselves together … but (get together) much more as you see (Christ’s return) grow closer.”

DAILY PRAYER: Lord, we need You and the fellowship of other saints to live a life of victory.

DAILY READING: Lev. 15-17

The Levites had extensive responsibilities examining for diseases and unhealthy molds.

Contemporary Christians have medical professionals who are proficient at diagnosing and treating health issues, but are also directed to ask for prayer by Christian leaders.

“Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church to pray and anoint him with oil …” -James 5:14

DAILY PRAYER: Lord Jesus, You are the Great Physician. We call upon Your name when we need a healing.

DAILY READING: Lev. 13,14

God clearly indicated to His children the dfifference between animals that could be eaten and those to shun. His care for their health was hererby indicated.

Paul said,  “May your whole spirit, soul and body be preserved sound and blameless.”

Yes, God wants us to be healthy.

DAILY PRAYER: Lord, we desire to walk in health.  Give us grace today to eat right.

DAILY READING:  Lev. 10-12

May we never lose sight of the scope, impact, and significance of what Christ did for us through His sacrificial death on the tree.  Like the Old Testament animals for sacrifice to whom the sin of the people was imparted when they put their hand on its head, Christ likewise took our sin and shortcomings.

The diseased woman in Matt. 9 merely touched the hem of Jesus’ garment and she was healed.  In Matt. 12, all who were diseased were healed when they touched the hem of His garment.

Touch Jesus today and give Him your sin and your disease.  Be healed!  Be safe!

DAILY PRAYER:  Lord Jesus, our Healer, our Savior, our Protector … It’s 9/11, keep us from the hand of our enemies.

DAILY READING:  Lev. 7-9

After hearing all the offerings that could atone for sin, the blood being thrown everywhere, the hide and carcasses being burned, the big mess it all created … we should be so glad for Jesus.

The sacrifice of His life put a stop to all of it.

The Psalmist said, “I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify him with thanksgiving.  This also shall please the Lord better than an ox or bullock that hath horns and hoofs.” -Ps. 69:30, 31

DAILY PRAYER:  Lord, thank You for the everlasting sacrifice for sin.  You have made us clean.  Your blood is precious, powerful blood.

DAILY READING:  Lev. 4-6

This is a beautiful word.

As he received God’s laws for living, Moses was instructed to anoint all the elements of the tabernacle so they could be holy and acceptable to God.  They were then consecrated, set apart for use to please God.

Of all the uses of our lives, being consecrated to God for His use is the most fulfilling and eternally rewarding.

DAILY PRAYER:  Lord, pour the oil of Your Holy Spirit over my life today that I might be consecrated to You and Your service.

DAILY READING:  Ex. 40, Lev. 1-3

I’m glad it wasn’t named The Judgement Seat, or The Power Seat, or The Holy Seat.

God’s mercy and His Truth came through Jesus Christ.  He is the merciful shepherd of our souls.

DAILY PRAYER:  Lord, Your mercy overwhelms us and we can’t live without it.

DAILY READING:  Ex. 36-39

Moses would meet with God in behalf of the Children of Israel in a tent outside of the camp as they journeyed through the wilderness.  It was called the Tent of Meeting / Tabernacle.  There he pled with God to be merciful for their rebellions.

Our nation needs our similar intercession right now. As we meet with God, we can plead for His mercy for the sake of our loved ones who are inhabitants of a nation who keeps pulling away from God.

God always looks for those who will intercede.

DAILY PRAYER:  Lord, Your mercy prevails over Your judgement.  Have mercy upon our nation and heal our land.  Bring a mighty revival.

DAILY READING:  Ex. 33-35

In the way that the burning of incense in the tabernacle wafted up to God, the aroma of our lifestyle also presents to Him as essence, either pleasing or unacceptable.

Paul also stated this principle in 2 Cor. 2 when he declared, “For we are to God the pleasing aroma of Christ.”

As we conduct ourselves everyday, let’s be mindful to please the Lord by every thought, word and deed.  We are creating an aroma.

DAILY PRAYER:  Lord, give me the grace to live each day in a way pleasing to You. I can’t do it by myself.  I need the presence of Christ in me.

DAILY READING:  Ex. 30-32

Aaron and his sons were ordained by God to be consecrated to His service.

David was a prefiguring of the New Testament believer as he was a king, a prophet, and a priest unto God.

Peter calls the saints a priesthood.  You and I are called and consecrated to minister as a priest unto God.  We do it through our service of building the Lord’s Kingdom and spending time with Him everyday.

DAILY PRAYER:  Father, I want to be a faithful priest to You.  I will  serve You and Your purposes today.

DAILY READING:  Ex. 27-29
