Leviticus 2 - Praying God's Word


Please read Leviticus 2.

Meditate on these repeated phrases from verses 1-5, 7, and 9-10.

Fine flour
A soothing aroma to the LORD
A thing most holy

Offerings are important to God, and He gives His requirements for holy offerings in Leviticus. Chapter 2 describes the LORD’s offerings as made of fine flour, without leaven, and seasoned with salt. In Scripture, leaven is often a picture of sin (1 Corinthians 5:8). Salt is used to purify and make things enduring. The LORD requires offerings to be pure and sinless in order to bring a soothing aroma to Him.
If you have come to God through the sacrifice of Christ, then the rest of your life is a holy offering lived wholly for the LORD.

Therefore I urge you, brethren, by the mercies of God,
to present your bodies a holy and living sacrifice, acceptable to God,
which is your spiritual service of worship.
—Romans 12:1

Would the LORD describe what you offer Him as fine, holy, and soothing? Ask Him to reveal and remove leaven/sin in your life. Let Him make you the salt of the earth (Matthew 5:13). Live to be a pleasing aroma to God.
Pray Leviticus 2:2-3 over yourself and those for whom you stand guard as a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).

“LORD, make ________ and me like fine flour.
 May the offering of ourselves be a soothing aroma to You. 
Make our lives a thing most holy to You. 
Because of You, Jesus~”
