FEBRUARY 11, 2022 Leviticus 1:14-15 And if the burnt sacrifice of his offering to the Lord is of birds, then he shall bring his offering of turtledoves or young pigeons. The priest shall bring it to the altar. As I have said before, it is easy for us to focus on the slaughter of the animals and be mystified as […]
FEBRUARY 10, 2022 Leviticus 1:11-12 He shall kill it on the north side of the altar before the Lord; and the priests, Aaron’s sons, shall sprinkle its blood all around on the altar. And he shall cut it into its pieces, with its head and its fat; and the priest shall lay them in order on the […]

FEBRUARY 8, 2022 Leviticus 1:9 And the priest shall burn all on the altar as a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, a sweet aroma to the Lord. If we consider that we are called upon to be a “living sacrifice” then it makes sense that we — that is, our flesh, our will and everything […]
FEBRUARY 7, 2022 Leviticus 1:9 And the priest shall burn all on the altar as a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, a sweet aroma to the Lord. I have often meditated upon the notion that a sacrifice burning upon the altar was considered, by God, to be a “sweet aroma.” I find it intriguing because […]
FEBRUARY 6, 2022 Leviticus 1:3 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. As I mentioned in the previous devotion, these sacrifices and offerings act as tutors to teach us […]
FEBRUARY 5, 2022 Exodus 40:36-37 Whenever the cloud was taken up from above the tabernacle, the children of Israel would go onward in all their journeys.

February 1, 2022 Exodus 40:33-34 So Moses finished the work. Then the cloud covered the tabernacle of meeting, and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle. After Moses and the children of Israel had done all, they could do as commanded by God, then — and only then — He did what only He could do. Once His people […]
February 2, 2022 Exodus 40:34-35 Then the cloud covered the tabernacle of meeting, and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle. And Moses was not able to enter the tabernacle of meeting, because the cloud rested above it, and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle. As noted previously, after the people of Israel had completed their tasks in regard to […]
JANUARY 31, 2022 Exodus 40:18-19 So Moses raised up the tabernacle, fastened its sockets, set up its boards, put in its bars, and raised up its pillars.
