Once again the overall theme through the chapters of Leviticus is God showing the people His Holiness. The people of Israel are given specific instructions on what animals they should, and should not eat. They are given laws of purification from diseases caused by mold, skin rashes and contaminated objects. While reading these chapters i cant help but think of how hard it must have been to upkeep all of the laws God has given them to just stay in a right relationship with God. but now I am beginning to understand the overall message is God is a Holy God, and we often lose site of this and fall short of fulfilling the requirements to be holy ourselves. If it wasn't for these chapters in Leviticus i would not truly see my need for a savior to cleanse my heart in order to enter into God's presence without being consumed by his holy fire.
God is Holy + Man cant match up = A merciful and forgiving loving God to come down to wash us clean in order to be holy with him.
prayer:
Lord, today I give my all of my short comings, I give you all of myself to be made clean. You Lord, through your son Jesus can only make my heart pure and clean to allow me to walk with you. I pray heavenly Father for your forgiveness and to give me the hunger to strive for holiness in my everyday life.
