Weekly Reading: 10/5 to 10/11
Path 1: New Testament and Psalms
In Psalms 9–10, David praises God for His righteous judgments and calls upon Him to remember the oppressed. God’s throne is established in justice, and He defends those who trust in Him. Though the wicked seem to prosper for a time, the Lord sees their deeds and will judge with perfect truth and justice.
Path 2: Old Testament Pentateuch/History
In Leviticus 7–9, God concludes the laws of the offerings and inaugurates the priesthood. Aaron and his sons are ordained, and the first sacrifices are made on behalf of Israel. The Lord’s glory appears to all the people as fire consumes the offering on the altar. This marks the beginning of Israel’s worship led by consecrated priests.
Guided by His Truth: When fire fell from heaven in Leviticus 9, it was more than a display of power, it was a declaration of presence. The same God who descended in fire and cloud in Exodus 13:21 to guide His people through the wilderness now revealed Himself again at the altar, confirming that Israel’s worship and obedience were under His direction. His fire both consumes and consecrates: it purifies what is unclean and lights the path of truth. It set’s us apart. For God’s people today, this points us to Christ, whose Spirit leads us in the same way. True revival does not begin with just an emotional experience, but with alignment to His truth, guided by the same presence that once lit the night for Israel and now burns within His church.
Path 3: Old Testament Wisdom/Prophecy
In Proverbs 22–23, Solomon offers counsel on humility, discipline, and guarding one’s heart. He warns against greed, drunkenness, and the influence of corrupt companions. Wisdom is portrayed as a safeguard for living a life of integrity, shaping how we handle wealth, relationships, and authority under God’s lordship.
