Numbers 28-29
To see the amount of animals used as an atonement, I think how the Lord provided all these animals to the Israelites and it was up to them to obey and sacrifice to make atonement for their sins. These animals were to be the best animals, without defect (vs 31).
How much do we sacrifice to the Lord? Are we serving the Lord with our time? Are we giving the Lord tithes off of the good He's blessed us with?
It's also mentioned over and over in this passage how the people were to deny themselves and do no work. Do we dedicate our schedule to the Lord? Do we prioritize our Sunday as the Lord's day? Are we regularly committed to our small group or just a casual attender? God commanded the Israelites not to work! Vs 40 says Moses told the Israelites all that the LORD commanded him.
Proverbs 27-
1 The righteous are as bold as a lion.
3 those who keep the law resist wicked
5 Those who seek the Lord understand justice fully
13 He who conceals his sins does not prosper, but whoever confesses and renounces them finds mercy.
14 Blessed is the man who always fears the LORD, but he who hardens his heart falls into trouble.
27 He who gives to the poor will lack nothing, but he who closes his eyes to them receives many curses.
28 When the wicked rise to power, people go into hiding; but when the wicked perish, the righteous thrive.
Help me God to speak out against wrongdoing, to not ignore people who need help, to have a soft heart, to be bold with my faith, to obey your laws God and most importantly to confess my sins Lord so I may continually find your mercy!
