Portions of Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy
Day 60 of my chronological study of the Bible with The Daily Bible® - In Chronological Order (NIV®) (available by purchase through Amazon - author F. LaGard Smith) focuses on directives from God through Moses (Moses' Laws) for health regulations, including skin disease, burns, mold, and bodily discharges.
Believers know that uncleanliness of course extends beyond external bodily conditions. Due to our sin, we all have stains that many cannot see - yet God can. This post from DesiringGod.com reminded me of this today.
Sin leaves us stained with the cycle of guilt and shame...and of course we are separated from God. Yet Jesus came for us so that all of us (Jews and Gentiles alike) could be cleansed of our sin and reconciled to Him.
My Prayer: Lord Jesus, You are an awesome God who has cleansed me of my sin and I need this daily - thank You Jesus! I am not deserving of such cleansing and love. I do sin daily, with harshness towards others, etc. Please forgive me Jesus and help me overcome and turn from my sin towards You. Help me love You with all of my heart, soul, and mind and love others as You love me. Help me grow in my faith. Give Lisa and myself wisdom and strength. Please heal Lisa of her cancer and from the side effects of chemo. Help us lead Zach and Dustin to You Jesus and for them to choose You as their Lord and Savior. Please provide Godly friends and spouses to Zach and Dustin. Help me serve You, my family, my church, and others. Help me understand, be obedient to, and apply Your message for me today and every day.
Wash away all my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin. Psalm 51:2
