Scripture~
Leviticus 14, Psalm 52, Luke 16

     I wonder at times . . . in the Old Testament passage, when the Lord is speaking of a house that has spots . . . if He’s not referring to the flesh of the temple. I am not familiar enough with Leprosy to know whether or not it can effect a earthen structure but I don’t think it would. What speaks to me though is how this being one of God’s laws . . . but it’s point is to protect His people. Had the house not been emptied, then all in the house would come down with the disease.
     The duality of man in how we are all spirits living in bodies that have souls. Our spirit yearns to be home with our King, but often the soul decides rebellion over what is good. I don’t know that I can laugh at those who choose to find refuge in their wickedness . . . I feel remorse. The peace that comes in trusting the Lord, I want all to have that peace. How the world would be different if all trusted in the Lord and relied on Him for provision, peace, and protection. The Creator gives us our purpose, meaning to our lives . . . those who seek answers elsewhere will count their lives cheap and empty when put up against the Light of Truth. I can’t laugh at that . . .
     Wow . . . just . . . wow . . . the new testament:

29 But Abraham said, ‘They have Moses and the Prophets; let them hear them.’ 30 And he said, ‘No, father Abraham, but if someone goes to them from the dead, they will repent.’ 31 He said to him, ‘If they do not hear Moses and the Prophets, neither will they be convinced if someone should rise from the dead.’”

     The law is given to us (and to use) in the Old Testament . . . those who do not accept the old testament can’t accept the New Testament . . . as the Old Testament points to Christ; and the New Testament speaks about and refers back to Christ. Later, in Revelation, it is written that those who have heard the truth but have not received it before the rapture . . . that their hearts will be hardened . . . hear the truth now. Hear the law given; and how it speaks to Christ’s coming in the Gospels; do not think or test God’s patience. We are given the scripture to speak to us about Christ, God’s plan for salvation for all of us . . . ALL of us.

     Lord thank you for Your living Holy Word; it continues to speak to us even today. Father my prayer is that I continue to seek Your face daily . . . and that in my endeavors that I will have a positive impact on other’s lives in the advancement of Your Kingdom, Amen
