The Bible in 90 Days reading for Tuesday is Leviticus 14:33 - Leviticus 26:26.
Daily SOAP devotional:
Scripture: Leviticus 18:5 -
Observation:
Here in this passage, God continues to give the religious laws to the Israelites and the Israelites are instructed to keep the law. To obey the laws means to live by them. This obviously means that the law functions as a guide for their lives by which they live. But I also believe it means that those who keep the law will also live; they will have life because they live by the law.
Application: Our society is antinomian. For the most part we don't like laws and decrees. We resent being told what to do. But here God says that if we wish to obey him, we will live by his laws and if we live by his laws we will have life. This idea, that living our lives according to God's laws is the best way to live, is difficult for most modern day Americans to understand.
Prayer: Father, hep me to keep your laws and decrees. Empower me to obey you and to live. Let me never believe the lies of this world, that to live however I please is best. Remind me always that following your laws is the best way to live and that it is the only way that brings true life. Amen.
