Leviticus 23:1-27:34

What God said to me – “I AM” the Lord your God.  Remember the Sabbath – keep it holy.  I laid out My plan.  I gave you a picture for your life and the world.  I worked for six days and rested on the seventh.  Focus on Me every day as you go through your days.  On the seventh day stop . . . stop and rest . . . stop and worship.  Spend much time with Me . . . walk with Me in the garden as I used to with Adam and Eve.  It is precious time.  It is necessary time.  I created you to need this time with Me.  I want this time with you!

Leviticus 17:1-22:33

What God said to me – “I AM” the Lord your God.  “I AM” the one who makes you holy.  I set you apart . . . set you apart as Mine.  You belong to Me.  You are not your own.  Consecrate yourself and be holy.  I have given you all you need for life and godliness.  As you look at My Law, don’t focus on the impossibility of it . . . look at the grace . . . look at the mercy given to you so you might be holy and acceptable to Me.  You can’t make yourself holy.  The Law can’t make you holy.  Consecrate yourself to Me . . . follow Me . . . stay close to My side and I will make you holy.  “I AM” the Lord.

Leviticus 11:1-16:34

What God said to me – Holiness is not easy . . . you can see from all the requirements of the Law that it is virtually impossible apart from Me.  “I AM” the one who can make you holy – the only one.  The only way for you to be holy as I require is for Me to make you holy.  As you walk through the world day by day, there is so much uncleanness – one touch and you are unclean too, often without ever realizing it.  Let Me cleanse you often with the washing of the water of the Word.  Stay close to Me so I can show you those things that are holy or common, clean or unclean.  Listen to Me – I love you and don’t want our lifelong conversation interrupted.
