God will provide. I think that has
been a lesson we have seen over and over again in the exodus of the Israelites
out of the Egyptian land of slavery. He has provided food, water, safety, and
provisions to construct the articles of worship. Now he is providing for his
servants the priests.
In today’s reading we find out about
the various sacrifices that are to be offered; burnt offering, grain offering,
guilt offering and peace offering. It is in the grain offering that we see God providing
for the priests … “The rest of the grain offering will then be given to Aaron
and his sons as their food.” Leviticus 2:10 NLT. God was not going to give the
priest any inheritance in the land; they would have no land of their own except
for the priestly cities. Beyond that they were depended upon those they served
to provide their needs.
God doesn't leave them looking for handouts.
God does not leave them begging on the streets. From the very beginning of
their duties God has put in place a system to care for his holy men. God knows
our needs long before we do. He has a plan for our lives. He is in charge, and
from this small example we are reminded that he has our best interest at heart.
