In what ways can we apply the principles of Leviticus 6:19 today? The Setting and the Verse “Then the LORD said to Moses,” (Leviticus 6:19) Key Observations • The action begins with God speaking—divine initiative. • Moses, the mediator, receives and will relay the instructions. • What follows (vv. 20-23) describes the high priest’s continual grain offering—half each morning, half each evening, wholly burned. Timeless Principles Uncovered • God still initiates relationship by His Word; our part is attentive obedience. • Worship is meant to be regular, not sporadic—morning and evening rhythms. • Offerings for the priest were consumed entirely, picturing total consecration. • The requirement is “perpetual” (v. 22); holiness is not seasonal. • Leadership carries heightened responsibility to model devotion. Practical Ways to Live These Principles Today • Begin and end each day listening to Scripture, allowing God to “speak to Moses” moments in your own life (Psalm 1:2). • Present yourself “a living sacrifice” daily (Romans 12:1), holding nothing back—your time, resources, priorities. • Guard regular corporate worship and personal devotion; treat them as non-negotiable appointments with the Lord (Hebrews 10:24-25). • If you shepherd others—family, small group, congregation—demonstrate consistent holiness, knowing your example influences generations (1 Timothy 4:12, 16). • View every act of service as wholly the Lord’s, not partly for Him and partly for self (Colossians 3:23-24). • Teach those coming after you to carry on this “perpetual statute,” ensuring a lineage of faithfulness (Deuteronomy 6:6-7). Scriptures that Echo These Truths • Psalm 119:147-148—early and late meditation on God’s Word. • Isaiah 50:4—“He awakens Me morning by morning to listen.” • 1 Peter 2:9—believers as a royal priesthood. • Hebrews 7:24-27—Jesus, the eternal High Priest, offered Himself once for all. • Philippians 2:17—Paul poured out like a drink offering, modeling total surrender. Closing Encouragement The same God who spoke to Moses still speaks through Scripture. As we answer with daily, wholehearted devotion, we honor the spirit of Leviticus 6:19—living sacrifices, entirely His, every morning and every evening. |
