Today’s Scripture Focus: Leviticus 6:1 - 7:27
Leviticus 6:9 (NIV) "Give Aaron and his sons this command: 'These are the regulations for the burnt offering: The burnt offering is to remain on the altar hearth throughout the night, till morning, and the fire must be kept burning on the altar.
Leviticus 6:13 (NIV)
The fire must be kept burning on the altar continuously; it must not go out.
The
aroma of the burnt offering was to go up to God always--a sweet savour
to Him. It required the diligent attention of the priest so that
it would not go out.
New Testament believers are called to be living sacrifices (Rom 12:1). The transformed life sends up an aroma pleasing to God. The spiritual passion of our lives requires the same constant attention as did the continuous burnt offering. Spiritual passion, like fire, tends to go out unless it is attended to regularly.
Spiritual disciplines like prayer, meditation and the study of the Word help to tend the fire. The sacrifice of praise also fuels the passion.
Tend the fire of your spiritual passion--don't let the fire grow dim. "The fire must be kept burning on the altar continuously; it must not go out."
