Leviticus 4:27-5:13; Psalm 104:1-35; Acts 27:1-26
The table of the Lord is polluted; and the fruit thereof, even his meat, is contemptible. Ye said also, Behold, what a weariness is it! And ye have [sneered] at it. Malachi 1:12-13
Just as the 17th century is often termed “The Age of Enlightenment,” the 4th century BC may rightly be called “The Age of Entitlement.” God’s people lost their appreciation for the centuries of His gracious provision and protection, and they eventually felt they were entitled to it. This attitude prevails today, both in the world around us and sadly
within the ranks of His people. Gratitude is often replaced by greed and appreciation with apathy. Where is the zeal we once possessed? —Rick Morse
O make me understand it, help me to take it in;
What it meant to Thee, the holy One, to bear away my sin. —Katherine Kelly
