Day 59 – February 28, 2021
Scriptures: Leviticus 22-23, 1 John 3 “This is how we know that we belong to the truth and how we set our hearts at rest in his presence: If our hearts condemn us, we know that God is greater than our hearts, and he knows everything.” (1 John 3:19-20) In our Leviticus reading, we learn about the various festivals that will make up the holidays of the Israelites. The purpose of each of the festivals is to draw attention to the faithfulness of God. It reminds the Israelites of their past, God’s presence with them now, and His faithful commitments to them in the future. The festivals are reminders of God’s power, presence and provision. The connection to 1 John 3, that my heart was encouraged by, is the above quote. “our hearts at rest in his presence.” I needed that today. I suppose it will be of encouragement to you as well. We belong to the truth. God has set us free. Our hearts are at peace in His presence. We can join with the Israelites in remembering the faithfulness and love of God. Have a great Sunday! Jordan
