Prayer: Father, I want to know You more! I want to know You more deeply. Amen.
Reading: Numbers 8 key: vs. 14-16
14 In this way you are to set apart the Levites from Bnei-Yisrael to be Mine. 15 After you have purified them and presented them as a wave offering, the Levites will come to do their work at the Tent of Meeting. 16 For they are the ones from among Bnei-Yisrael given to Me in place of all the first from the wombs of Bnei-Yisrael. I have taken them for Myself.
Attention: Did you know that when You become “born again” you have been set apart by Adonai? You became His at that moment. You transferred ownership from the enemy of our souls to the Lover of your soul. Perhaps the greatest scripture which underscores Adonai’s love is found in the gospel of John, chapter 3, verse 16, “For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.”
Let’s give emphasis to “so loved” us, that “He gave His one and only Son.” How many of us would give our only son or even our own life, to save the world? He suffered, bled and died for each one of us. When we claim His blood, He claims us. We become His possession.
In today’s passage, the Levites, the priests, were “set apart” to be His (vs. 14). Formerly, it was the first born of every human or animal that were declared “Mine” by Adonai. Now He is taking the “Levites in place of the first born of Bnei-Yisreal (children of Israel).”
When we become born again, we also become set apart as distinctly His. Have you embraced the claim He has placed on your life? Have you confirmed and declared to Adonai, “I belong to You!”? If you haven’t, today is the day. If you have confirmed His ownership, consider declaring it over again today. I am Yours Lord!
Action: I declare today Lord that I belong to You!
Yield: I give myself whole-heartedly to Adonai!
Engage: I choose to live whole-heartedly for Adonai!
Relationship: I choose to walk in step with the Holy Spirit.
Prayer: Father, there is no other way, but to trust and obey! Amen.
Memory Verse: John 3:16-17
16 “For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17 God did not send the Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through Him.
