Scripture:
““Then the priest will offer the two turtledoves or the two young pigeons, whichever the person can afford.” Leviticus 14:30 NLT
Observation:
The offerings people must bring for cleansing from skin disease, or other things, start with larger animals, but then get down to two turtledoves or two young pigeons. Basically, God is saying, nobody is too poor to be purified. He went out of His way to make sure everyone could be clean.
Application:
Jesus went to the cross for our salvation. He paid the ultimate price for us. When we look around us, we can never reject someone simply because they are poor. We must always find a way to bring them to a level playing field. God made a way for them to bring sacrifices, we must also let them know that they can have the same access to God as anyone else. God doesn’t look at the wealth of a person when He works. His playing field is always level.
Prayer:
Father, let me see the poor as You see them. Help me to never reject people because of the their apparent worth. All are made in your image. Help me to treat everyone the same as I serve inYour kingdom. Teach me how to love everyone equally.
Yours,
Jeff
