The Peace Offerings - Leviticus 7

“12 If you present your peace offering as an expression of thanksgiving, the usual animal sacrifice
MUST BE ACCOMPANIED BY various kinds of bread made without yeast—thin cakes mixed with olive oil, wafers spread with oil, and cakes made of choice flour mixed with olive oil. 13 This peace offering of thanksgiving must also be accompanied by loaves of bread made with yeast. 14 One of each kind of bread must be presented as a gift to the Lord. It will then belong to the priest who splatters the blood of the peace offering against the altar. 15 The meat of the peace offering of thanksgiving must be eaten on the same day it is offered. None of it may be saved for the next morning.
16 “If you bring an offering to fulfill a vow or as a voluntary offering, the meat must be eaten on the same day the sacrifice is offered, but whatever is left over may be eaten on the second day. 17 Any meat left over until the third day must be completely burned up.


The usual animal sacrifice (Leviticus 1:1-9)
1.       From the herd.
2.       A male with no defects.
3.       Lay your hand on the animal’s head.
4.       Slaughter the young bull.
5.       Present the animal’s blood by splattering it against all sides of the altar.
6.       Skin the animal and cut it into pieces.
7.       Build a wood fire on the altar.
8.       Arrange the pieces of the offering, including the head and fat, on the wood burning on the altar.
9.       The internal organs and the legs must first be washed with water.
10.   Burn the entire sacrifice on the altar.

  

I am glad today, in order to make peace with God I DO NOT have to do all this, but just come into HIS presence and call HIS name, and He’ll be right there with me. Alleluia!!!
Aren’t you glad too? Then stop whatever you’re doing right now, and for a few minutes, get into HIS presence, is as simple as that! Call upon HIS name and worship HIM, if you can’t think of anything at the moment to be thankful for, start by giving HIM thanks for allowing us to live here at this time that we do not have to go get an animal to slaughter it, and to follow all the ritual back then Moses and his people had to go thru just to hear from God. You can sing HIM a worship song, you can make your own worship son, telling Him what you’re thankful for, or like me, find one online, like “I Choose to Worship” by Wess Morgan, THE LORD loves you to worship Him, so wait no more, do it now!

Have a great time in worship, daily!!! You will notice the difference in your mood, which will transcend to all other areas of your life. Try it for yourself!

I’m praying for that new expression of love thru your worship to our Heavenly Father; for the Lord to give you the words so you can easily express your love to Him.  I pray that no distractions will come in your way for these moments of worship, whether is at work or at home, even while you’re driving to protect you while you worship, at the same time that HE is purifying you from the inside out. And I pray for His glory, that the transformation become so evident in your life, that everyone around you notices it, so you can testify what your willingness to worship GOD had done for you, giving the world a reason to worship God as well. And I pray in JESUS name and for HIS glory, AMEN!!!
