Leviticus 9 - Praying God's Word

Please read Leviticus 9.

Meditate on verse 6.

Moses said, “This is the thing which the LORD

 has commanded you to do, that the glory of

the LORD may appear to you.”

In order for God’s glory to appear, a bull calf sin offering, a ram burnt offering, a male goat sin offering, a one-year-old calf and lamb burnt offering, an ox and a ram peace offering, and a grain offering mixed with oil were necessary. The offerings had to be perfect and offered precisely as the LORD commanded, with blood from the offerings dipped and poured to the LORD’s specifications. After the animals were slaughtered and presented before God, “fire came out from before the LORD and consumed the burnt offering” (v. 24). Only then was the LORD pleased and His glory revealed.

Because of the complete sacrifice of Jesus Christ, you are no longer required to come with an unblemished lamb, ram, or goat before you can approach God. Faith in the fact that Jesus came to earth, died for your sins, and rose from the dead is the way you gain the glory of the LORD (2 Thessalonians 2:14).

Has God’s glory appeared to you? If not, believe in Jesus today. If His glory has appeared to you, thank Him. Reading Leviticus helps you appreciate even more what your Savior did on the cross.

Pray Leviticus 9:22-24 over yourself and those for whom you stand guard as a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).

“LORD, You are ___________ and my sin offering, burnt

offering, and peace offering.

Bless us and let Your glory appear to us.

Let Your fire come and consume us. 

May we shout and fall on our faces before You.

Because of Your unblemished sacrifice, Jesus~”
