Personal note: I actually get emotional in the middle of a bunch of weird laws. Hope you’ll stick around for those little nuggets.

Intro:

That moment when you post on Twitter: Leviticus: slog, slog, slog, slog. Hebrews: Dang! That’s why we read Leviticus!

Good morning, and welcome to my joy in serving you as I serve Jesus. I know that I’m not alone when it comes to wondering why some stuff is in the Bible, and here’s one of my favorite exhortations that I haven’t made in awhile:

Let’s just sit at Jesus’ feet. Listen. And say, “Lord, speak to me today.”

I promise He will be faithful to overcome that little thing niggling inside you that wonders why you do this.

I promise you that the only way we get to quality relationship includes quantity relationship.
