In Leviticus 4, The Lord gives rules and instructions to Moses for the Israelites about sin: when committed by the anointed priest, the whole Israelite community, a leader, and any member of the community, there is no perfect person. This leads one to think of atonement and value the forgiveness of sins.
In Psalm 1, verses 1 to 3 one is reminded that a person that delights in God’s law and who is able to meditate, night and day reaps benefits and is likened to a tree by streams of living water, yielding fruit and prospering. Fed by God s word to stand strong and prosper.
In Psalm 2 reference is made to rulers and kings of the earth. When we listen or read the news about poverty, justice and unrest in certain countries do you pray and say “Blessed are all those who take refuge in the Lord”?
There are many practical things/sayings in Proverbs that apply to our daily living. Proverbs 19 v 8 refers to wisdom and understanding However, in Proverbs 19 verse 21 “ Many are the plans in a person’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails.”
As we meditate is it just a daily action or do we listen to God? Are you seeking Gods purpose and will, then listen perhaps God is speaking to you.
Read Psalm 119 v 105 and v133.
