In today’s readings what did you learn about God? What can you take away from today’s lessons? Based on the description of each sacrifice, that I wrote, is there anything that you learned about how God works?
Today’s reflective question is: “Do I have a community of relationships in which I can practice the corporate discipline of confession? If not, what should I be doing to develop those relationships?” This is talking about having people, Godly and wise Christians, who you can go and confess where you are struggling, who will tell you truth about what they see in you and what they feel is going good or where you are going off. This requires relationship in order to receive and release information.

Today’s reflective question:
Yes, I’m married. So fortunately, I have a full time wise and Godly husband who has my back. We just celebrated our 40-year anniversary. We made it by God’s grace and both of us growing and maturing in our love for Jesus and “practicing” putting into action God’s Word.
Also, a few years ago I took seriously Ephesians 2: 8-10 “8 God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can’t take credit for this; it is a gift from God. 9 Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it. 10 For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.”
Since I can’t take credit for God’s grace, I might as well share my foibles with my fellow believers, so they know they are not alone. We are all in the same boat whether we share it or not. And I want to spend my time encouraging others to realize the full impact of what our Savior Jesus Christ has done for us. And the good plans and purposes he has for each one of us. His mercies are new every morning. Thank you, Lord!

Hi Anonymous!
Thanks for sharing. I also want to encourage you that you are not growing alone. The Holy Spirit grows God’s own character-his fruit- in us as we trust and depend on Jesus. John 15: 1-5, Galatians 5: 22-23
Philippians 2: 12-13 12 “Dear friends, you always followed my instructions when I was with you. And now that I am away, it is even more important. Work hard to show the results of your salvation, obeying God with deep reverence and fear. 13 For God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases him.”

The thing the stood out to me the most was how each offering had various ways you could present an offering. Each type of animal/grain had a different way to present it but the one thing that didn’t change was that the person offering was involved in the sacrifice itself. So often we hear it taught the priests did the offerings – and yes they did. And there were some they only did – but these offerings did involve the offerer and most of the “gross” and “dirty” stuff was done by the one making the offering.
What am I taking away from this: I still have a huge part to play in my walk with the Lord. He gives the gift of salvation, but I have a job in my relationship with Him, in doing the work to continue to grow and in how I present myself to others.
