Daily Bible Reading — Sustained By God’s Word Of Peace And Justice

DAY 8 OF 31

  


October 8


Introduction


Today’s reading concludes the book of Leviticus and describes laws pertaining to the sale of lands dedicated to the LORD and laws pertaining to various offerings.


Today’s Scripture: Leviticus 27:30


One tenth of all the produce of the land, whether grain or fruit, belongs to the LORD.


Today’s Reading 


Leviticus 27:16-34


Reflect


Much of what is described in the book of Leviticus, such as what is found in chapter 27, is not part of modern-day life. The law described in verses 28 and 29 indicates that something dedicated completely to the LORD could not be used by anyone else and had to be destroyed. This law most often applied to towns and people captured in war (see Numbers 21:1-3; Joshua 6:16, 17). Ten percent, as cited in verse 30, traditionally known as a tithe, refers to the tenth that is holy or dedicated to the LORD’s sacred place of worship. In what ways does your community dedicate offerings to the LORD? What stood out for you in today’s reading? 


Pray


Lord God, teach me to lead a life of service that glorifies and honors you and reflects your love for all people. Amen. 


Prayer Concern


Congregational treasurers and financial secretaries


Tomorrow’s Reading
