Be Holy

This year Dave and I are committed to reading straight though the Bible. We did this last year and we saw such growth in our spiritual lives and wanted to do it again. As always we start strong in January and love reading through Genesis and Exodus. Those books are filled with stories of warriors of the Christian faith. Then we hit Leviticus and it gets tough to read. I wanted to make Leviticus feel more relevant so I started praying, "God reveal yourself to me through this book. It seems like a long list of rules that no longer apply, but Lord there must be more to it or You wouldn't have put it in the Bible." He was faithful in answering my prayers.

 In Leviticus 19:1 it says: "Be holy because I, the Lord your God, am Holy."

This sentence hit me hard. Be Holy. That is a hefty command the Lord is giving the Israelites, but notice God doesn't say it and leave it up to the Israelites to figure out how to go about it. He gives them clear direction. God is always willing to give clear direction to those who are willing to listen. This month we are praying that God will lead us in a few up coming decisions and we are asking that you will join us. Please pray that God will reveal to us the right timing.
