Bless the Priests

 Scripture:

“The remainder of the grain offering belongs to Aaron and to his sons – it is most holy from the gifts of the Lord.” ‭‭Leviticus‬ ‭2‬:‭10‬ ‭NET‬‬

Observation:

Leviticus starts out with a listing of all of the sacrifices that were to be presented to the Lord. This one, called the grain offering, was unique because they were to bring it to the Lord, then bring the remainder to the priests, Aaron and his sons. The Lord then said, “it is most holy from the gifts of the Lord.” In other words, this is important to remember as you sacrifice to the Lord, take care of God’s servants as well.

Application:

There are times when we should honor men of God who give their lives unselfishly for the Kingdom. According to this verse, “it is most holy from the gifts of the Lord.” In other words, It is important to honor those who serve God with a sincere heart and to bless them with offerings. I need to get better at this. I love to honor God’s servants, but I should make sure we really bless those who serve the Lord because it is a holy thing to do. I want to be a generous person who blesses God’s servants well.

Prayer:

Father, use me to bless Your servants. Teach me how to honor those who are working hard at serving You. I want to honor what You honor and put down what You put down. Help me discern well when to give, how much to give, and how to give whenever there is opportunity. I want my gifts and sacrifices to serve You and Your purposes well.

Forever Yours,

Jeff
