Just a teeny little thought for the day...

Our first and most important command is to love the Lord. The reason a lot of people don’t like reading Leviticus very much is because they can’t find anything to daily apply to their lives. But I don’t think that’s the purpose of Leviticus. Its purpose is to show us how holy God is, and to increase our appreciation for His sacrifice. So it’s okay if we go a couple days without a new application for our lives as long as we have increased our love for God by seeing salvation in a new light, or recognizing His holiness because we are getting to know Him better, and that is the whole point for reading the Bible in the first place. Yes, serving Him can increase our love for Him, but sometimes we just need to get to know God better, and not forget about our original purpose from the beginning.
