Daily Bible - Sacrificial Submission

Today's reading is found in Leviticus 7:1 to 8:36.

More sacrifices are mentioned here as well as the reminder not to drink blood or eat fat. Hmm. I like my steak a little bit red in the middle. I don't like fat, but a little marbling in the meat is good. Also, many children go through a stage where they like to eat fat. I did once upon a time. Hmm.

Aaron and his sons are ordained to be priests of the Lord then in quite a ceremony, in just the manner that God had commanded. That spirit of submitting to God is really where the glory of these days' readings is coming from. The Israelites have done everything (after the golden calf incident) just as God commanded. In this period, beautiful works were made and the groundwork for a nation's culture was laid. The items that were made are legendary thousands of years later and the nation remains today. After a time of scattering, of course.
