Leviticus 12-14, Proverbs 15:18-33

What God said to me – The wisdom of the prudent is to give thought to their ways.  Think about your life . . . about where you are going . . . about what kind of person you want to be.  Do you want to honor Me with your life?  Then you must give thoughts to your steps.  You must turn to Me and let Me guide you.  You must determine to purposefully follow Me.  You must purposefully let go of those things which keep you from being wholly devoted to Me.  Whether it’s thoughts or activities or entertainment or job or friends . . . whatever it is – you must be willing to let go of anything that impedes your walk with Me and embrace those things which please Me.  The prayer of the upright pleases Me, and I love those who pursue righteousness.  Come after Me with your whole heart.  Be wholly devoted to Me.

Leviticus 9-11, Proverbs 15:1-17

What God said to me – The church today – those who claim to be My children are in many ways no different from everyone else in the world.  They act the same – they dress the same – they talk the same.  My people are blending into a profane, ungodly, corrupt world without a second thought.  You, however, must be different if you truly want to please Me with your life.  “I AM” the Lord your God and you must consecrate yourselves each day so you walk in holiness.  You must conduct yourself in such a way that people around you see a distinction between the holy and the profane and between the clean and the unclean.  You be holy for “I AM” holy.  Live in such a way that you reflect Me to those you encounter and let there be no question that you are Mine.

Leviticus 5-8, Proverbs 14:19-35

What God said to me – Sacrifice is an integral part of walking with Me.  It is at the very center of our relationship.  Don’t ever forget that it was My Son’s sacrifice that allowed you and I to have this relationship – because He made peace between us, we are able to fellowship.  I love the fellowship we now share but never forget the price it took.  Value this time . . . it cost a great deal . . . the highest price.  Make our time a priority – the most valuable thing in your life.  There is nothing in your life that costs more.  Treat our time together as what it is – precious.
