Ashes 1

Leviticus 6

And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,

Command Aaron and his sons, saying, This is the law of the burnt offering: It is the burnt offering, because of the burning upon the altar all night unto the morning, and the fire of the altar shall be burning in it.

10 And the priest shall put on his linen garment, and his linen breeches shall he put upon his flesh, and take up the ashes which the fire hath consumed with the burnt offering on the altar, and he shall put them beside the altar.

11 And he shall put off his garments, and put on other garments, and carry forth the ashes without the camp unto a clean place.

12 And the fire upon the altar shall be burning in it; it shall not be put out: and the priest shall burn wood on it every morning, and lay the burnt offering in order upon it; and he shall burn thereon the fat of the peace offerings.

13 The fire shall ever be burning upon the altar; it shall never go out.

Can I stop right here and ask you to meditate upon this Word?

Every good and fruitful conversation should be attended by parties that are on the same page.  You can read the commentaries and see what great learned men who dedicated their lives to the Lord have said. You can read the margins of your study bibles and see what the authors of those writing want you to understand.

But will you lay aside every weight and see what the Lord has to say to you about this?

I called this Ashes 1 because I had to give it a title but do not allow that to be your focus.

See you tomorrow and I pray you will share with me what the Lord reveals.

Today

I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint: my heart is like wax; it is melted in the midst of my bowels.

I’ve lost it.

Help me Lord.
