Leviticus 6:8-7:10; Psalm 106:1-48; Acts 28:1-16
There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judea, a certain priest named Zacharias… Luke 1:5, NKJV
The time was dreadful. A monster was on the throne, an Idumean, a murderer of his own sons, proud, cruel and horrible in every way. There was also a priest, a servant. This man was humble, virtuous, godly, faithful. Whoever is on the throne in our world, be they prime minister, president, pharaoh or prince, God also has His priests—men and women who faithfully carry out their privilege of worshipping Him joyfully, hopefully, prayerfully. In these times of turmoil, may the Lord find our hearts and our homes prepared, expectant, focused on the Coming One. —M. MacMullen
Just to know You more, has become my great reward;
To see Your kingdom come, and Your will be done. —M. Weaver
