Name: Josh
Scripture: Leviticus 17-18
1The LORD said to Moses, 2"Speak to the Israelites and say to them: 'I am the LORD your God. 3You must not do as they do in Egypt, where you used to live, and you must not do as they do in the land of Canaan, where I am bringing you. Do not follow their practices. 4You must obey my laws and be careful to follow my decrees. I am the LORD your God. 5Keep my decrees and laws, for the man who obeys them will live by them. I am the LORD. 6No one is to approach any close relative to have sexual relations. I am the LORD.' "
OAP: I'm not really journaling on this cause of the sexual guidelines it sets to be honest. I just love how God sneaks in "I am the Lord" every chance he gets. It's like a little reminder in the middle of a fierce commandment that basically says, "Hey, im all powerful, so just do what i say." He goes on to set a bunch of rules and boundaries for sexual relations and punishments if they are broken, but I am just constantly reminded while i read that He is the Lord. We should fear his justice and be ever thankful for his mercy, not taking for granted who He has been, who He is, who He will be. For He is the Lord. It cant be said enough! He is the Lord! Hosanna!
Prayer: You are the Lord Almighty, i am nothing. Let my words be few.
