"I'll set up my residence in your neighborhood." If we surrender, He is our neighbor. Oh! Leviticus 26:13
If we confess our sins...wait, when was the last time I repented of sin? About 15 minutes ago. I went into the living room to my husband to ask his forgiveness for being very rude to him, but you know what happened? I sinned again right there cause I didn't like his response. We have the awesome privilege of going into the Holy of Holies and living no longer curved in. Repentance isn't just asking someone to forgive me but it's turning from it.
66 Love Letters: "Think of holiness as relational energy that is more concerned with another's well-being than our own. Think of unholiness as perverted relational energy that is more concerned with our well-being than another's."
So, as we close the Book of Leviticus, what would holiness look like as we relate to our spouse today? What would it look like as we relate to our children? What does it look like this day as we relate to our world? My prayer for all of us as we end this book is Colossians 1:29: As you face and embrace some really hard things, may you struggle well with "His Energy that so powerfully works in you."
So what does the Book of Leviticus stir in you? What have you most thought about as you read this book?
