Good day dear friends.
Please lift up Mrs. Tess Norris in your prayers. She has not been doing well these last couple of days in her nursing home situation.
Here is our study guide for today: Wednesday: Leviticus 19, 20, 21List five or six of the highly practical laws found in Lev. 19.
These are very practical laws of relationship. Notice the relationship God stresses He wants with us and the relationship He wants us to have with others.
Be holy is very practical. Respect your parents. Keep the Sabbath. Practice giving as you were instructed. Share your harvest with others, especially the poor and the foreigner. Don't take what is not yours. Always tell the truth. Be honest in all your dealings with others. If you're an employer don't take advantage of your employees. Don't mock those with handicapping conditions. Treat your neighbors right. Love others in the way you should love yourself. And an interesting item in verse 28, don't get a tattoo.
The wisdom behind these commandments is profound. Their existence helped form most of the laws used by governments around the world, including ours. If kept in they way they are written, our relationship with others and God would wonderful. These reflect a caring, beyond ourselves attitude; such an attitude brings fullness of life, joy, love, and peace.
Are you well acquainted with all of God's laws? Are you aware of how they came to fulfillment in Jesus Christ?
PRAYER: Loving God, we thank you for Your love and the way Your love is expressed in these laws. Let me look beyond the letter of the law to the love I should have in my heart for You and others. Forgive me those times I have put myself first and have neglected You and others. Free me for a joyful life. I pray in Jesus' name, amen.
Have a great and blessed day in the Lord!
