Leviticus 8
Daily Devotional from Leviticus 8--
I can’t read this chapter without noticing how much God cares about the details. There are a lot of things Moses and Aaron do here that seem a little odd to us (maybe more than a little). Why did it matter how Aaron was ordained? Why did it have to be so specific?
I have a theory that God was actively setting his people apart. One way he did that was through the details. He gave the Israelites many commands that may seem trivial to us.
Look at verse 9, for example. We may ask why it matters if Aaron wore the turban, and how important it really was for the golden plate to sit on the front of it. I wonder the same! It’s possible that even Moses didn’t totally understand the reason for the whole process. But the LORD commanded Moses to do it this way, and he obeyed.
The principle to catch here is that God cares about the little things. He will often speak to us in the most mundane, ordinary moments, in the smallest and (seemingly) most insignificant ways. The questions we have to ask ourselves are, “Are we listening?” and, “Will we obey?”
