Leviticus 24 - Praying God's Word

 

Please read Leviticus 24.

www.blueletterbible.org/nasb/lev/24/1/s_114001

Meditate on verse 11a.

 

The son of the Israelite woman blasphemed the Name and cursed.

 

Leviticus reveals God’s heart and expectations.  His expectations from Leviticus 24 are:

 

·      Provide oil, so the lamp burns continually (v. 2).

·      Present the bread before the LORD continually (vs. 5-8).

·      Protect the Name of the LORD and protect life (vs. 10-23).

 

Jesus, the Light of the world, calls us “the light of the world” (John 9:5; Matthew 5:14).  Jesus is the bread of life (John 6:35, 48, 51).  His name is “above every name” (Philippians 2:9).  Jesus gave up His life, so we can have His eternal life (Matthew 20:28; John 10:28).

 

Ponder these truths and let your light shine, so others can see the Bread of Life.  Live so others will be open to know the Giver of eternal life.

Pray Leviticus 24:2, 4, 9, 11, and 17-18 over yourself and those for whom you stand guard as a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).

 

“LORD, keep the lamps of ________ and me in order

and let them burn continually before You.

Thank You for letting us eat Your Bread. 

You are our portion forever!

May we never curse and blaspheme Your Name.

May we protect life rather than take it.

Because of You, Jesus~”
