Do As the Lord Commands

Scripture Leviticus 8: [21] He washed the inner parts and the legs with water and burned the whole ram on the altar as a burnt offering, a pleasing aroma, an offering made to the LORD by fire, as the LORD commanded Moses.

Observation: All through Leviticus it tells how the people did as the Lord commanded, but it didn’t last long. Today we know what the Lord commands He wrote it in His book and on our hearts. We know as God’s children what our Lord desires of us. and at times we do what He commands, but too often we get involved in this world and forget His commands. I’m so guilty of this when I seek His face I do what He calls me to, but most of the time I’m seeking my own desires and fall into sin.

Application: I need to stay focused on my Lord and His desires for my life. God has blessed me with an eternity with Him and all I need to do is be focused on His will for my life. Besides an eternal home with my Master He promises me rewards for fulfilling His plan in my life and I just need to persevere and stay close to Him to hear His voice. My Lord’s commands are for my own good, He needs nothing from me, but He desires my loyalty and love.

Prayer: Dear Lord you are worthy of all of my love, obedience and praise. Help me stay next to you during the day and that I will stay close to you. Help me not wander off the path you have set me own, but keep me focused on your will for this life you have blessed me with.
