Tuesday – Pentateuch

Reading – Leviticus 26-27

Highlight Verse:

“I will give you peace in the land, and you will be able to sleep with no cause for fear. I will rid the land of wild animals and keep your enemies out of your land.”
‭‭Leviticus‬ ‭26‬:‭6‬ ‭NLT‬‬

This is one of those verses that would look good on a Facebook post with a tranquil scene.

That’s not why I highlighted it.

In context, many of those good things in today’s reading are a result of obedience.

The same principle holds true today.

I’m not saying life will be perfect if you only behave.

I am saying that God’s way of doing things will naturally have good results.

Likewise, going against God’s principles may naturally have bad results.

God created us.

He knows what works best for us.

He wrote a bunch of what works best down for us to benefit from.

I say, we should take advantage of that and follow His instructions.

Have you resisted Biblical principles for living because they seemed too restrictive or legalistic? (I have in the past).
Have you considered the possibility that those principles were given for our good?
