FIRST GRAIN YOU HARVEST / LEVITICUS 23:10

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Leviticus 23:10

Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye be come into the land which I give unto you, and shall reap the harvest thereof, then ye shall bring a sheaf of the firstfruits of your harvest unto the priest:

FIRST GRAIN YOU HARVEST / LEVITICUS 23:10

The Feast of Firstfruits (Leviticus 23:10-14), which occurred in connection with the Feast of Unleavened Bread, acknowledged that all crops and produce came from the Lord. The first fruits (the first and best of the harvest, not the leftovers) were to be dedicated to God. For New Testament believers, this illustrates how our entire lives must be dedicated to God. That is because Christians are the “first fruits” of Christ’s work of salvation (James 1:18; Revelation 14:4).

APPOINTED FEASTS OF THE LORD / LEVITICUS 23:2

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Leviticus 23:2

 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, Concerning the feasts of the Lord, which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations, even these are my feasts.

APPOINTED FEASTS OF THE LORD / LEVITICUS 23:2

This chapter describes Israel’s sacred days of celebration and worship. These days were symbols of their relationship with God and how He had set them apart for His purposes. The feasts also represented the fact that the Israelites and all they possessed belonged to God. There were two cycles of these feasts: a weekly cycle and an annual cycle. All of these sacred days involved feasts except for the Day of Atonement, which was the one day that the law required fasting (going without food to focus on spiritual matters). These festivals helped to tie their worship to the events in their daily lives. Godly worship must touch and influence every aspect of a believer’s life today as well.

HAS A DEFECT / LEVITICUS 21:17

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Leviticus 21:17

Speak unto Aaron, saying, Whosoever he be of thy seed in their generations that hath any blemish, let him not approach to offer the bread of his God.

HAS A DEFECT / LEVITICUS 21:17

None of Aaron’s descendants who had any sort of physical defect or flaw could serve as priests and present offerings for the people (Leviticus 21:17-23). While this may seem unfair or seem to show favoritism, it was meant to be a physical illustration of a more important spiritual point. (This was true of most issues surrounding the priesthood.)

  1. Complete health and physical wholeness represented God’s purpose that priests be examples of the full life God intended for his people. Being free from physical limitations would allow them to perform their duties more effectively. However, those who were disqualified from serving as ministers could still eat the most holy food (Leviticus 21:22). God was showing that they too had a part in the full salvation and relationship provided by God’s covenant.
  2. God’s requirement for physical perfection in the priesthood was an illustration of Christ’s moral perfection (Hebrews 9:13-14). It is also a physical picture of God’s spiritual requirements for New Testament leaders, who are not required to be physically flawless but must be blameless and “above reproach” in a spiritual sense (1 Timothy 3:2).

NOT MARRY WOMEN DEFILED BY PROSTITUTION / LEVITICUS 21:7

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Leviticus 21:7

They shall not take a wife that is a whore, or profane; neither shall they take a woman put away from her husband: for he is holy unto his God.

NOT MARRY WOMEN DEFILED BY PROSTITUTION / LEVITICUS 21:7

Priests could not marry women who had behaved in sexually immoral ways or even those who had been divorced. They were to marry only virgins or widows of priests (Leviticus 21:13-15; Ezekiel 44:22). God wanted His spiritual leaders to serve as examples of His highest ideals for marriage and the family. In the New Testament, God also requires those who serve in church leadership to be models of moral purity and faithfulness to their families.

HOLY TO THEIR GOD / LEVITICUS 21:6

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Leviticus 21:6

They shall be holy unto their God, and not profane the name of their God: for the offerings of the Lord made by fire, and the bread of their God, they do offer: therefore they shall be holy.

HOLY TO THEIR GOD / LEVITICUS 21:6

Priests were to be separated from all ungodly customs. They were to live pure and blameless lives that honored God and followed His plans. Failure to do so would “profane the name of their God.” To “profane” means to stain, dishonor or treat the Lord’s name as unholy. It is no different for spiritual leaders today. God expects pastors and other church leaders to live in a way that honors Him. He commands them to show evidence of holiness by living lives that are pure and separated from evil. This is their example of righteousness to those they lead (1 Timothy 3:1-7; 4:12).

PRIESTS / LEVITICUS 21:1

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Leviticus 21:1

And the Lord said unto Moses, Speak unto the priests the sons of Aaron, and say unto them, There shall none be defiled for the dead among his people:

PRIESTS / LEVITICUS 21:1

Leviticus 21 describes the qualifications and standards for those who were to serve as ministers for God’s people. They were to be examples of godliness both in their ceremonial duties and in their personal character and conduct. For this reason, God held them to a higher standard than was required for the rest of God’s covenant people.

MY LORD AND MY GOD / JOHN 20:28

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) John 20:28

And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God.

MY LORD AND MY GOD / JOHN 20:28

The Scriptures (God’s written Word, both Old Testament and New Testament) point to and declare the fact that Jesus is God. This is the foundation of the Christian faith and is vitally important for our spiritual salvation. Without Christ being God and maintaining a perfect life as a man, He could not have provided the perfect and permanent atonement (“sin-covering” sacrifice) for the sins of the world. The deity (God-nature) of Jesus Christ is shown by the following:

  1. God’s Word gives Jesus names and titles reserved only for God: (a) God (John 20:28; Isaiah 9:6; Romans 9:5; Titus 2:13; Hebrews 1:8); (b) the Son of God (John 5:25; Matthew 16:16-17; 8:29; 27:40, 43; Mark 14:61-62; Luke 22:70); (c)the First and the Last (Revelation 1:17; 2:8; 22:13); (d) the Alpha and the Omega (Revelation 1:8; Revelation 22:11-13); (e) the Beginning and the End (Revelation 22:13). (f) the Holy One (Hosea 11:9; Acts 3:14); (g) the Lord (Luke 2:11; Acts 4:33; 9:17; 16:31); (h) Lord of all and Lord of glory (Psalms 24:8-10; Acts 10:36; 1 Corinthians 2:8).
  2. Christ receives worship as God (John 5:23; 13:13; 20:28; Matthew 14:33; Luke 5:8), and prayers are addressed to Him (Acts 7:59; 1 Corinthians 1:2; 2 Corinthians 12:8-9).
  3. Christ is given credit for activities and roles belonging only to God: (a) creator of the universe (John 1:3; Colossians 1:16; Hebrews 1:8, 10; Revelation 3:14); (b) sustainer of all things (Colossians 1:17; Hebrews 1:13); (c)forgiver of sins (Mark 2:5, 10; Luke 7:48-50); (d) giver of resurrection life (John 5:28-29; 6:39-44); (e) judge of all people (John 5:21-23; Matthew 25:31-46; Acts 17:31; 2 Timothy 4:1); (f) giver of salvation (John 5:24-26; 6:47; 10:28; 17:2).
  4. The New Testament reveals how many Old Testament statements about the Lord God contain prophetic truths about Christ. Compare Psalms 23:1 with John 10:11; Psalms 102:24-27 with Hebrews 1:10-12; Isaiah 8:13-14 with 1 Peter 2:7-8; Jeremiah 17:10 with Revelation 2:23; Ezekiel 34:11-12 with Luke 19:10.
  5. The name of Jesus Christ is associated with that of God the Father (John 14:1-4; John 14:23; Matthew 28:19; Romans 1:7; 2 Corinthians 13:14; Colossians 2:2; 1 Thessalonians 3:11; James 1:1; Revelation 5:13; 7:10).
  6. Christ’s sinlessness and holiness (His complete purity, perfection, spiritual wholeness and separation from all evil) testify to His divinity – His qualities associated with being the true God (Luke 1:35; 2 Corinthians 5:21; Hebrews 4:15).
  7. Christ was proven and declared to be the Son of God by His miraculous resurrection and complete triumph over death (Romans 1:4; 2 Timothy 1:10).

These conclusive proofs that Christ is God mean that believers must act and respond toward Christ in exactly the same way they act toward God the Father. They must believe in Him, worship Him, pray to Him, serve Him and love Him (John 1:1; Mark 1:11).

DO NOT HOLD ON TO ME / JOHN 20:17

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) John 20:17

 Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God.

DO NOT HOLD ON TO ME / JOHN 20:17

This verse probably means, “You can let go of me; I am not going back to my Father quite yet. You will still have the opportunity to see me again.” In the meantime, He has an important task for her; she would be the first to spread the wonderful news of the risen Christ.

JESUS APPEARS TO MARY / JOHN 20:16

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) John 20:16

Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turned herself, and saith unto him, Rabboni; which is to say, Master.

JESUS APPEARS TO MARY / JOHN 20:16

The first person to whom Jesus appears after His resurrection is Mary. Although in the Gospels (the true accounts of Jesus’ life recorded by Matthew, Mark, Luke and John) she is mentioned only as a simple follower of Christ, Jesus appears first to her rather than to any of the disciples who would later become the outstanding leaders in the New Testament church. Throughout the ages, Jesus reveals His presence and love especially to those who are often overlooked or less important by the world’s standards. This is not to say that Jesus ever thought or treated women any less worthy than men, as did many people in the culture of Jesus’ time. In fact, women played a major role in Jesus’ ministry (Romans 8:1-3). Like Mary, many of Christ’s most faithful followers – who maintain deep love and devotion for the Lord – often go unnoticed by others inside and outside the church.

THE UNGODLY AND THE SINNER / 1 PETER 4:18

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

1 Peter 4:18

And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?

THE UNGODLY AND THE SINNER / 1 PETER 4:18

“Ungodly” (Greek asebes) originally meant “not reverent”; it later came to mean “having an attitude of disrespect and contempt toward God” (Jude 1:4, where the same Greek word is used). “Sinner” (Greek hamartolos) comes from a word meaning to miss the mark, either by falling short or by going to one side or the other of the goal (Romans 3:23; Romans 6:2; Isaiah 53:6).
