Good Morning “You Who, Could Be All You Could Be”.  Today we are in Numbers 4.  We get to read about those that were chosen and charged with preparing, handling and carrying the Tabernacle and its elements.  What a great honor!  They were hand selected by God for His good important work!MERICA!!! It’s where we live!  The land of opportunity!  In the current state of our country where: entitlement ...  Read More

Good Morning “Set Apart For Good Work.”  Today we are in Numbers 3.Numbers 3 records the census of all of the Levite males 1 month and older - chosen and set apart.  Each clan was called with a specific job to do as it relates to the care of the Tabernacle.  The Levites were Royal Priesthood for His service. They were honored and committed to serve and glorify Him.  Once again. I ask… what does th...  Read More

Good Morning “Living With God as The Center.”  Today we are in Numbers 2.  In this chapter, God through Moses gives instruction as to how the camp of the Israelites was to be arranged.  Each family in its specific place under its banner.  Some believe these banners more likely bore images representative of the Tribe rather than the name of the Tribe.  For instance Judas’ banner may have had a lion...  Read More

Good Morning “Believers That God Will Do What He Says He Will Do.” Today we begin the book of Numbers with chapter 1.Exodus, Leviticus, and Numbers work together to tell the story of how God formed the nation of Israel to accomplish His great purpose. Exodus and Leviticus concentrate on Gods giving of The Law and cover a very short span of time.  Numbers on the other hand will cover nearly 40 year...  Read More

Good Morning “Gods Children”.  Today we are in Leviticus 27.God through Moses presented the 10 commandments which act as overriding principles - directing the world in how they should live.  Those were not the only laws given however.  In fact God gave more than 600 additional laws which serve as practical situational guides for living obediently in day to day life.  The Law served to define sin a...  Read More

Good Morning “Both Blessed, and Disciplined.”  Today we are in Leviticus 26.  Maybe you’ve  heard me say that with every decision we make, the way we live our lives - we either position ourselves for the blessing of God, or we position ourselves for His discipline.  If you are searching for a passage that plainly illustrated both you’ll find it with Leviticus 26.  It’s true, these laws were given ...  Read More

Good Morning “Recognizers That Gods Got it All Covered.”  Today we are in Leviticus 25.  Remember when I said that The Law was given for multiple reasons.  One of those purposes was to protect or steward the land, and another to protect against injustice.  Those are both on display in this chapter.  The Sabbath year gave the land a chance to recover.  As previously discussed, due to modern fertili...  Read More

Good Morning “Aiming for Sanctification of Each Other”.  Today we are in Leviticus 24.If it’s action you’re looking for in Leviticus, you’ve found it in chapter 24.  First, consider the command for the nation to participate in the continuous burning of the lamps.  They must bring the oil - which allows the Priest to continue to keep the lamp in the Tabernacle burning.  Their obedience resulted in ...  Read More

Good Morning “Thankful Hearts.”  Today we are in Leviticus 23.  Given that these observances and annual festivals were given only to the nation of Israel, it’s an easy chapter to skim over and lose sight of the big picture.  6 days you are to labor and on the 7th rest.  You may remember from our Exodus study that the Sabbath had dual expectation. Exodus 20:8-11.  The observance of the Sabbath is r...  Read More

Good Morning “Observers of Holy God.”  Today we are in Leviticus 22.  The Priests and by extension the whole nation of Israel were reminded not to vary in living out the ordinances they had been given?  Why… because it would profane the name of The Lord.  When we live obediently with fear of The Lord, we honor Him.  When we live contrary to His word it dishonors or profanes His name.  It’s disobed...  Read More

Good Morning “Spiritually Healed.”  Today we are in Leviticus 21.  The Priest had some very specific guidelines regarding even who he could marry.  Remember, the Priest in their world at their time was a “type” of Christ - a representative of.  His wife then representative of “The Bride of Christ.”  As such, he must remain above board in every way.  Pure, Holy, without blemish - and his bride also...  Read More

Good Morning “Choosers of Holiness”.  Today we are in Leviticus 20.Seems most any type of the immorality was to result in the death of the offender.  The truth is, spiritually speaking, death is the payment required for any and all sin.  “The wages (payment for) of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus.” Romans 6:23  Hence the need for our Savior Jesus.  Within the ...  Read More
