We have been working our way through the book of Leviticus. Accepting the challenge to find relevant and applicable truth in the words of this book has been a great blessing to me. Still, I believe it is worth mentioning here that I do not believe a daily Bible study time is a magical formula. The…
Leviticus 7: Holiness… Seriously.
Chapter 7 gives us further details of handling sacrifices. One specific instruction caught my attention today: What does this tell me about God: God is serious about his holiness. Verse 20 describes how a person would become “cut off” from the people for eating the fellowship sacrifice while being unclean. At first, it seems like…
I am not Helpless
A friend gave me an amazing sheet of paper the other day. I tucked it away in my journal for a daily peek. It is titled “The Truth about my Identity in Christ,” and there are 100 verses. In a season of massive identity shift, I am excited to start internalizing these truths. Today, number 91…
Leviticus 6: Attention to Detail
Chapter 6 begins with the rest of the instructions for the restitution offering. It then launches into the beginning of a long list of details for sacrificial activity in general. I beg you to lower your expectations of me today regarding this chapter. With teething 6-month-olds, a few guests staying in our home, and some extra ministry…
Leviticus 5: Reality Check
Welcome to a very authentic and brutally honest study of the book of Leviticus. If you have been following this series very closely, you may have noticed I’ve skipped some days (gasp!). This study is all about being real with the Bible, studying the hard books and gleaning relevant truth that will point us toward Christ. Ideally, we would…
Happy 6 Month Birthday to the Rosty Twins!
6 Months… We made it! The Rosty twins are 6 months and thriving. A year ago I didn’t think we would make it this far. In the back of my mind I figured we would be such a mess, that Jesus would take pity and come back before now. In his gracious providence, God has…
Epic Fail!? Don’t Worry, There’s Hope: Leviticus 4
Welcome to our study of the not-so-boring-and-irrelevant book of Leviticus. (Click here for the beginning of this study). I have to admit, I was a little distracted by Facebook before beginning my study today… not exactly setting myself up for success to approach God’s Word. I repented and prayed for God’s help to focus on HIS truth. With…
Reading Leviticus 3 Might Just Bring You to Tears: Understanding the Cost of Fellowship with God
Today we are studying Leviticus 3. Have you read it yet? As tempting as it is to keep reading my thoughts on the subject, please for the love of grumpy-cat memes, please go read Leviticus 3 for yourself first! God has amazing things to say in this book; I was skeptical at first, but it’s day…
Embracing the Unadventure of Motherhood
I have a deep affinity for hiking in the mountains. Something about the wildflower hills, spaced sporadically among thick walls of green trees, and a path with untidy growth happening all around my feet makes my heart sing. I’ve lived my life as an adventure seeker. International travel, camping, road trips, big projects, building our own…
How Leviticus 2 Will Change the World! (Revealing how work done for God has eternal value)
Day 2 of studying Leviticus. (To return to the start of the journey, click here.) “Give me a teachable spirit Lord.” I prayed as I began my study today. I jotted down my 3 categories, in short-hand this time. God is… I should… Q’s… Reading about the grain offering could have been boring, monotonous…….
