Today's Bible Reading...
Leviticus 25:47 - 27:13 - vs 47 - Got your brothers back. It is important and we see it here in this first section of scripture to have a close eye on our brothers to take care of them as their needs arise. I will add that this is not only true of fellow Christians but the world at large. Notice, however, I said "needs" for thir is a huge difference between needs and wants. be smart Christian and above all be loving, loving to a fault, over and above; outpouring with love and care even.
26:3-41 - I am so moved by this section of scripture because it shows so much into the hear of God. In short is shows how following after Him living as He prescribed in loving devotion not turning aside to idols pays off. It will be less work with higher reward. SO many times the back sliding Christian find himself striving more and more try to make ends meet make more money etc all to no avail. Why? Because if your heart is to simply make more money, protect your pride via "I must take care of my family" etc God does ntot honor that. Don't get me wrong it is the Christian man's duty to take care of his family but again does a one bedroom apt with a used care mean no care is taken when the new house with payment and care that costs and extra things mean better care is taken, no.
I council people all the time who are burried in debt and the excuse is care must be given for the family. But when I show them and apartment that is one quarter the cost and a used car for two months car payment they refure citing some exuse or another. God doesn't want our excuses He wants to bless, mainly because where He is, there also is blessing. SImply being where He is following His every lead lends to blessing. Notfor blessing sake for that would be like a geenie ina bottle. If in fact He wants you to live poor on the street He is worthy of being followed to the street for fellowship and loving life with Him.
Christian do not let the ways of this world the lust of the eyes the lust of the flesh and the pride of life fool you into thinking God is not caring for you for this is not the case. Follow Him and be satisfied with whatever He deems right to provide for you as you deserve nothing at all!
vs26:41 - I find it interesting that part of the repentance process is knowing and stating to God that He is the reason for the bad things that are happening. Think about that for a while, Selah!
Mark 10:32-52 - How far we have come from the Biblical model of the Church and fellowship with Jesus, we are not to have one exercising Lordship over us. Wow. Where is the Plymouth Brethren, house church - everyone ministering as he is guided, when you need it. Lord please guide us! (Check A.N. Groves, and George Muller for reference to this movement and early church life)

Leviticus 19:1 - 20:21 - vs 5. "And if you offer a sacrifice of peace offerings unto the LORD, ye shall offer it at your own will". God is not demanding in His Love, it is a privilege to sacrifice to Him, not one thing that was ever given up for Jesus is not repaid or rewarded God is not a debtor to anyone. "For the Lord loves a cheerful giver". What a pleasure and joy it is to serve the King of the Universe, to think that He; perfect in nature, Glorious i being wants anything to do with me blows my mind, but thanks to Jesus Christ God does want to have a relationship with me and with you...!
vs 20:11 - Here we see an OT (old testament) law that was broken in the NT (new testament) in 1 Corinthians Paul addresses this very law being broken and we see how the NT deals with OT law. Paul says to admonish the young man to stop committing the sin and if he does not then proper church discipline will be enacted. But the young man does stop so Paul stands up for the man telling the church in Corinth to treat him in a loving way and as you would any other brother in the Lord.
I like this whole ordeal because it speaks to me about the meshing of the OT and NT. While, as Christians, we are not under the Law as a way of righteousness God's Law's still apply again not for a way of being righteous toword God but because He is God and frankly He knows what He is talking about in regard to Holy living. Not so we can be accepted Jesus blood on the cross did that but God's Law is still perfect and able to show the way to any who want to learn an listen. This is also a great example of the difference between OT Laws and OT precepts. Precepts were for the Children of Israel i.e. sacrificial precepts etc. laws are for everyone including Christians today!

While on a big ship in the ocean you can see the wake behind the boat for miles, as you look back on your life what is left in the wake of your life? Love, joy, peace or pain, suffering, and sin? Whatever the answer Jesus and His Word change us. From the inside out, we are changed. Little by little everyday from the time we move from darkness to light until we see Him face to face.
