Reading:
Leviticus 25:8-24

That’s the title of next Sunday’s lesson in our Sunday School quarterly from Christian Light Publications. The Bible passage selected is Leviticus 25:8-24.

Chew this verse which stood out to me in my reading of the passage this morning:

“Ye shall not therefore oppress one another; but thou shalt fear thy God: for I am the LORD your God” (17).

The concept of not oppressing another “resonates” in my heart. I’ve got to sharpen my sensitivity in this regard.

It’s interesting to me that oppressing another is contrasted with fearing God.

What do you make of that?!

Reading:

Romans 6:11-23

“Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord” (11).

Here are some “chewables” for you today:

  • “Likewise reckon…” — how do I go about doing this today?
  • Is there any sin I’m allowing to dominate my thinking and doing?
  • Whose servant am I?
  • And with what kind of passion and energy?
  • What fruit am I bearing?
