Without Defect!!

Scripture Leviticus 3:6 ” `If he offers an animal from the flock as a fellowship offering to the LORD, he is to offer a male or female without defect.

Observation: Can you imagine offering the Lord a life without defect, that surely wouldn’t be mine. Besides my obvious physical defects my heart, mind and soul also have a variety of defects. Maybe that is what God was trying to say that He demands a sacrifice and a life without defects but the only way we can accomplish that is through His son Jesus. Jesus was the only one who ever lived that had no defect and he is willing to take my place so my heavenly Father may look upon Jesus so that I may be forgiven.

Application: Realize my lack of ability to offer my Lord a sacrifice and life without defect and then bow down to my Lord Jesus with love and gratitude that He would substitute for me so that I may be acceptable to my Father. Live the best life I can to imitate my Savior and to tell others what my Lord has done for me.

Prayer: Dear Lord I thank you for taking my place and allowing me to be with you when this life is over in heaven. Thank you for always staying in the gap that my heavenly father sees you and your righteousness and not my sinful ways. I know I will never be worthy but show me how to honor you in this life until it is time to go home.
