October 19
Introduction
Today’s reading begins the concluding chapter of the book of Leviticus and details various vows made to the LORD and certain laws pertaining to offerings required of God’s people.
Scripture Reading
Leviticus 27:1-15
Today’s Key Verse: Leviticus 27:9b
…every gift made to the LORD is sacred.
Reflect
Verses 2-7 refer to people who had been dedicated to the LORD by a promise or a vow. To free someone from this service meant overriding the vow with a payment of money. The standard payments were probably based on how much work an individual could do. A strong mature male, for example, would normally be able to do more work that required physical strength. What were your thoughts as you read these verses? In what ways are monetary values placed on the work people do today?
Pray
Lord God, every good gift comes from you and is sacred. Bless the labor of my hands today, and may it serve as an offering to you. Amen.
Tomorrow’s Reading
Leviticus 27:16-34: The conclusion to the book of Leviticus describes various laws about the sale of lands and various offerings.
