DAILY READINGS: 1 Kings 13:33 to 14:31; Jer. 24-25; Col. 2:8 to 3:4
And the Nazarite shall shave the head of his separation at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and shall take the hair of the head of his separation, and put it in the fire which is under the sacrifice of the peace offerings. Numbers 6:18
The Nazarite was a person who voluntarily separated himself to do something extraordinary for God. He was not to cut his hair, a sign of his total subjection to Jehovah. Completing his vow, his hair was offered to God on the altar under his peace offering. At the Judgement Seat of Christ, our earnest desire to serve God in an extraordinary way, and the reproach we bore for His name’s sake, will be laid upon the altar of the love of God. The reward will be ours! —R. Surgenor
Labour on, labour on, keep the bright reward in view,
For the Master has said He will strength renew. —J. R. Blackall
