When God gives us a promise, He also gives us a plan of preparation for receiving all of the potential for that promise. He is a God of order and He requires purity from us, both individually and corporately, so that we can remain in His covering, receive His blessings abundantly, and avoid the traps of our enemy. Not only are His promises perfect, but so is His plan.

Much of life has ups and downs, But when we fully commit our lives to God, he will fill us with his peace. It is not by our might or by our power but by His spirit. We should not be easily swayed by our fleeting feelings but should stand firm in Gods character that never changes.

Everything in the book of Leviticus points to the work that Jesus has done to allow us to now have personal relationship with God. It also reveals the posture our hearts should hold in worship, consecration, and gratitude as we approach Him. In an extensive list of do’s and don’ts given to Israel, we find an invitation to community with our holy God through the sacrifice of Jesus.

Holy order brings heavenly outpourings. God has a plan and it’s so important that we follow his directions and lead. Our lives consist of chaos without alignment with him. Everything we need is found in his presence, and his instructions are an invitation to greater intimacy with him.

In their season of wandering in the desert, God provided every need for the Israelites. This taught a generation that they could rely on the Lord. Despite God’s faithfulness, they often allowed their flesh to cause them to complain. This should challenge us to recognize where we have allowed ourselves to lack in thankfulness towards the Lord.
