SOAP 02/09/2014 Leviticus10:3

Today's reading: Leviticus 10, 11, 12; Acts 16


S) "Then Moses said to Aaron, “It is what the Lord spoke, saying,
‘By those who come near Me I will be treated as holy,
And before all the people I will be honored.’”
So Aaron, therefore, kept silent."


Leviticus 10:3 (NASB)

O) Verses like this remind me of the incredible work of grace that the Gospel truly presents. We now have the very Spirit of God, not before us, but within us. And here is a reminder of how powerful and sovereign God is. This a reminder of the reverence we should have for the Holy One.

A) God says, "And before all the people I will be honored." That statement is so final, so definite, so completely non-negotiable. I must honor God. I must respect His holiness. I need to approach Him, in prayer or worship, in complete reverence and respect.

P) Father, I want to be humble before You at all cost. If that means You must humble me, so be it. Help me to humble myself, and learn to revere You as holy and sovereign in this world, in my life. Remind me of the grace that is inherently at work, even in the simple fact that I can approach You at all. Let that knowledge humble me. In Jesus's name I pray. Amen.
