“Then he shall lay his hand on the head of the sin offering, and kill it as a sin offering at the place where they kill the burnt offering.”

Leviticus 4:33 NKJB

As we read through this chapter we can see how bad sin is and how serious it can be! Sin really does keeps us separated from God! The only cure is confessing and repenting!

“if we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”

1 John 1:9 NKJB

The LORD doesn’t want us to live in sin, He wants us to be free and living in Him! The good news is we don’t have to live in bondage of sin, but instead we can live in the goodness of the LORD, just confess and repent!

“Therefore, repent and turn to God, so that your sins may be erased.”

Acts 3:19 CJB

Today, don’t dwell in the bondage of sin, but instead repent and allow God to erase that sin by His blood and be renewed in His joy! Have a blessed day walking in His freedom.

“Then the priest shall take from the grain offering a memorial portion, and burn it on the altar, It is an offering made by fire, a sweet aroma to the LORD.”

Leviticus 2:9

Often times in life we can feel crushed, beat up and burnt up, realize that the LORD can and will turn it into a sweet aroma to Him!

“You have turned for me my mourning into dancing; You have loosed my sackcloth and girded me with gladness.”

Psalm 30:11

In any situation we may be going through, the LORD is right there with us, guiding us through! All we have to do is look for Him!

“Then the virgin will dance for joy, young men and old men together; for I will turn their mourning into joy, comfort and gladden them after their sorrow.”

Jeremiah 31:12(13) CJB

Don’t look at the situation you are going through, but look to the LORD instead! He will always turn your situation into a sweet aroma! The LORD is calling out to us, so look to Him for everything! Have a blessed day in His sweetness!

“If his offering is a burnt sacrifice of the herd, let him offer a male without blemish; he shall offer it of his own free will at the door of the tabernacle of meeting before the LORD.”

Leviticus 1:3

What do we offer to the LORD, does it mean anything to us? Here we see that you had to sacrifice a clean animal, a strong animal and it had to be from your own herd! It had to be worth something to you! Just like God giving His own son!

“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.”

John 3:16

Ultimately, God gave Himself! The same goes for us do we give of ourselves?

“I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service.”

Romans 12:1

Today, give to the LORD freely give what is important to you, give what has value and most importantly give of yourself! Remember, you can’t out give God! Have a blessed day offering yourself to the LORD!

“The Jesus said to him, Go your way; your faith has made you well. And immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus on the road.”

Mark 10:52

When we realize that the LORD has saved us, it should lead us to desire to follow Him! Realize, we are saved by His grace and mercy meaning we don’t get what we deserve eternal damnation! As lovers of Jesus we need to follow after Him!

“If you love Me, keep My commandments.”

John 14:15

Grace gives us great responsibility, which is really pretty simple. We get to walk in His ways, not ours!

“Therefore you shall keep the commandments of the LORD your God, to walk in His ways and to fear Him.”

Deuteronomy 8:6

Today, let’s share the LORD’S love, walk in His ways and fear spending one second without Him! Have a blessed day following hard after the LORD!
