Even Leviticus

You are to be holy to me because I, the Lord, am holy.
Leviticus 20:26

Today's Scripture & Insight : Leviticus 13:1-8

The topic was Leviticus, and I had a confession to make. "I skipped a lot of the reading," I told my Bible study group. "I'm not reading about skin diseases again."

That's when my friend Dave spoke up. "I know a guy who believed in Jesus because of that passage," he said. Dave explained that his friend's doctor had been an atheist. He decided that before he completely rejected the Bible, he'd better read it for himself. The section on skin diseases in Leviticus fascinated him. It contained surprising details about contagious and noncontagious sores (13:1- 46) and how to treat them (14:8-9). He knew this far surpassed the medical knowledge of that day - yet there it was in Leviticus. There's no way Moses could have known all this, he thought. The doctor began to consider that Moses really did receive his information from God. Eventually he put his faith in Jesus.

If parts of the Bible bore you, well, I'm with you. But everything it says is there for a reason. Leviticus was written so the Israelites would know how to live for and with God. As we learn more about this relationship between God and His people, we learn about God Himself.

"All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness," wrote the apostle Paul (2 Timothy 3:16). Let's read on. Even Leviticus.

Father, teach me how to appreciate the Bible. Let every part speak to me.

FASTING IS NECESSARY

To relate with the Holy Spirit, you must be holy. You must also exercise a living faith, pray and fast. Some people will tell you that because had finished the work of salvation, there is no need to fast. To them, fasting is completely needless and is some form of self-inflicted punishment. But they forget that...More

Jacob sojourned with Laban and laboured for him for several years. At first, his host was cheating him at every opportunity, and the years of his hard labour were almost in vain.

The name you bear is very important because it serves as your identity and your future may be connected to it. The name a person bears is sometimes indicative of the experiences he or she will encounter in life. Take for instance Moses: this name means "drawn out of water"
