Christian Devotional – December 26, 2012

VERSE:
Leviticus 12:8–But if she cannot afford a lamb, then she shall take two turtledoves or two young pigeons; the one for the burnt offering and the other for a sin offering; and the priest shall make atonement for her, and she will be clean.

TRUTH:
Throughout the descriptions of the offerings, many times there are provisions for people who do not have the money to afford the bigger offerings. God understands our financial situation and even now, He provides a way through for us. Just like the people of Israel, we can know that a lack of money is no excuse for a lack of obedience.

RESPONSE:
Father, You have made a way for even the people with little to no money to be obedient to You. You want me to understand that nothing is to stand in the way of my obedience to You. I will not allow my money or lack of money to be an excuse for my disobedience. I confess that to You, knowing that You will forgive.
