Today's Reading February 10

Morning reading from the Old Testament
Leviticus, chapters 10, 11, and 12

having just gone through extensive and detailed steps as the Tabernacle and the Aaronic priests were set up, consecrated, and installed, just after the patterns of worship, sacrifice, and atonement were established, we see failure.

1 And Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, took either of them his censer, and put fire therein, and put incense thereon, and offered strange fire before the LORD, which he commanded them not.
2 And there went out fire from the LORD, and devoured them, and they died before the LORD.
3 Then Moses said unto Aaron, This is it that the LORD spake, saying, I will be sanctified in them that come nigh me, and before all the people I will be glorified. And Aaron held his peace.

The LORD established a pattern from which they were not to deviate. And immediately, some did. For all those who claim great freedom to treat the worship of GOD lightly, this is a stern warning.



Evening reading from the New Testament
the Gospel of Matthew, chapter 26, verses 1 through 19

These are the events leading up to the Last Supper that Jesus had with His disciples, just before His arrest, show trial, and crucifixion. Every word here is important, don't miss any.

Today's Reading February 07

Morning reading from the Old Testament,
Leviticus, chapters 1,2, and 3

Evening reading from the New Testament,
the Gospel of Matthew, chapter 24, verses 23 through 39


It was, I believe, the late J. Harold Smith who said that if the book of Leviticus is properly understood, then much of the Bible becomes much plainer. I do know that I do not understand everything presented here, but I do know that it is in the Bible because the LORD wanted it there, and that is a pretty powerful argument.

Today's Reading February 06

Morning reading from the Old Testament
the Exodus, chapters 39 and 40

Evening reading from the New Testament
the Gospel of Matthew, chapter 24, verses 1 through 22

Today's morning reading completes the book of the Exodus. The Exodus is the second of the remarkable books that our Jewish friends recognize as Torah and it is for them foundational. But it is no less important to Christians, and does not get the attention it deserves. God Almighty is still in the business of bringing His people out of bondage. And, like the Hebrew children led by Moses, we are still stiff-necked, complaining, and prone to sin. ''All we like sheep have gone astray ...'' and that has not changed. One of the phrases repeated in these two final chapters is ''... as the LORD commanded Moses.'' Doing as the LORD commands is still the way we must go. One of the calls upon our lives is to obedience to what the LORD has revealed to us.
