Numbers 1-2; Psalm 64; Hebrews 11 By Faith Many a day I must remind myself it is “by faith” and not “by feelings.” Sometimes how I “feel” must take a backseat to my “by faith.” We all have moments where we may not desire to go through the things we go through. Our feelings can […]
Leviticus 26-27; Psalm 112; Hebrews 10 Idols Make us Idle “Do not make idols or set up carved images, or sacred pillars, or sculptured stones in your land so you may worship them. I am the Lord your God.” Lev. 26:1 I once heard a preacher say, “idols make you idle.” Meaning, when you worship […]
Leviticus 24-25; Psalm 81; Hebrews 9 “So I gave them over to their stubborn hearts to follow their own devices.” When our children are small, it’s easier to direct their ways. We have more control. Eventually, they have to make their own way, and we have watch. Sometimes with sadness in our hearts. If we […]
Leviticus 21-23; Hebrews 8 If I am being honest, Leviticus is a hard read for me. The rules, so many rules. Each one could so easily be broken. And the ceremonies, and sacrifices. I can’t imagine not holding a dear friend’s hand as they passed. Or being expected to marry from a certain group. Or […]
Leviticus 19-20; Hebrews 7 by Becky Hill Martin “Never Have I Ever” is a party game where a player shares something they’ve never done. Anybody who’s done it responds by putting a finger down (PG-rated version). The more “evers” (fingers down) you have, the more you, 1) shock your peers, 2) earn their respect. I […]
Leviticus 15-18; Psalm 31; Hebrews 6 We Need Jesus After reading that, you may be saying: Duhhh! Yet, it is a reminder that we cannot “get right” with God without Jesus. In Leviticus 16 we read about the day of atonement, it was something directed to be done to cover the people due to sin […]
Leviticus 12-14; Psalm 111; Hebrews 5 Psalm 111:2 NLT How amazing are the deeds of the LORD! All who delight in him should ponder them. Reflection Every morning I try to take a moment and reflect or ponder on the prior day and the day before me. Reading Psalm 111 really had me think about […]
Leviticus 8-11; Psalm 110; Hebrews 4 When I was a child I had a toy called the Magic 8 Ball. It was a plastic black ball with clear bottom, on the inside was a dice in some liquid. The idea was to ask the ball a question, shake it up, and the answer to all […]
Christ /Moses Leviticus 4-7; Hebrews 3 In the Old Testament, Moses was chosen by God to lead the Israelites out of bondage. In the New Testament, Christ was sent from Heaven to release mankind from the bondage of sin. Moses relied on hearing from God for instructions. Jesus knew what the plan was when He […]
Leviticus 1-3; Psalm 27; Hebrews 2 By Becky Hill Martin “Rerouting… rerouting… make a U-turn…” if you use GPS as much as I do, you know. (Ok – I’m usually only redirected because I can’t figure out if “go west” means turn left or right.) I once switched the preset voice I named “Karen” to […]
