Seize the Moment – Day 531
Confirmation from God!
Good morning! This is Pastor Jerry Ingalls from New Castle First Baptist Church and today is Monday, August 30.
Have you ever received a confirmation that you were doing a good job? A simple example would be when your boss praises or rewards your work.
Leviticus 9 narrates the inaugural sacrifices for worship at the tabernacle by Aaron and his sons after their seven-day ordination service. The sacrificial system of God’s people has begun.
Leviticus 9:22-24 records God’s confirmation to the leaders that they sacrificed to Him correctly and to the people that they were now walking in His ways:
Then Aaron lifted up his hands toward the people and blessed them, and he stepped down after making the sin offering and the burnt offering and the peace offerings. Moses and Aaron went into the tent of meeting. When they came out and blessed the people, the glory of the Lord appeared to all the people. Then fire came out from before the Lord and consumed the burnt offering and the portions of fat on the altar; and when all the people saw it, they shouted and fell on their faces.
Seize the moment and worship by giving yourself to God as a living sacrifice. May you experience the confirmation of God’s consuming fire through the activation of His Holy Spirit in you.
