Have you ever tried to study the Levitical Law?
Over the years, I’ve heard others share with glowing confidence that there’s so much to find there.
I secretly wondered what their special gift was that they could interpret this book that I’ve always struggled with.
I’ve never done an in depth study of the book, but I’ve opened my Bible, stumbled through detailed accounts of sacrificing various things, and struggled to find any inspiration for today.
So last weekend, when I saw the Sunday school lesson, I inwardly groaned.
Introduction to Leviticus…
I knew it would be deep. A lot of types and figures of the salvation plan, but would I be able to apply it to today?
I reminded myself that the Word – the whole Word – is alive. Written by inspiration of God for our spiritual instruction.
And I prayed for God to reveal hidden truths to my heart, because I believed Leviticus must have life in it, even if I hadn’t found it yet.
I’m so humbled and grateful to say, God definitely heard my prayers and again as we prayed at the start of our class Sunday morning.
Our discussion flowed more than usual, so much that we didn’t get through the lesson, and I was genuinely inspired by the things we uncovered.
I found a lot more inspiring truth in Leviticus than I expected to… and was reminded of one that’s written elsewhere in the Bible.
If I’m willing to seek, God will show His message to my heart.
“Seek ye the Lord while He may be found, call ye upon Him while He is near…” Isaiah 55:6
