Right now I am going through Leviticus in my Bible Reading. And as anyone who has read Leviticus knows there is not a whole lot of easy or fun reading in it (its mostly about sacrifices and lots of the same thing over and over again. :)
So yesterday before I started I prayed that God would show me something that I could use that day.
And he showed it to me! In Leviticus chapter 10 it talks about how Aaron came to Moses and told him that the children of Israel had done what God told them to do, and the next verse was the one that caught my eye.
And when Moses heard that, he was content.
Leviticus 10:20
Contentment......That's something I often lack, and this week I really needed to hear that. How often could that be said of me?
This was also encouraging to see that even in the books that are not as interesting there is always something there if you are looking for it!
Thank you so much for sharing this. I have found nuggets of encouragement in Leviticus too. Following you over from Women Helping Women today. Have a wonderful day!!

I love this, too. God is so faithful.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures!
Oh, yes. What a simple yet powerful reminder. I'm glad I stopped by from Beth's Three Word Wednesday.
ReplyDeleteLeviticus? You brave woman! My husband is ploughing through it too. He has also found surprising nuggets as he's researched the deeper meanings and symbolism behind the laws.
ReplyDeleteContentment is hard to maintain and slips from our grasp like a bucket of eels wriggling to get away. Joy can be just as challenging to keep hold of. Yet a deep-seated inner contentment can really help us to cope with all the changing circumstances threatening to tip us out of balance.
I'm glad you were next to me at #faithfilledfriday and I hope and pray contentment will make its home in you. Blessed by the visit and lovely photographs! Thank you. :) x
Beautiful post and beautiful pictures!
ReplyDeleteThank you for this reminder. I was really struggling to get through the 2nd half of Exodus and this reminded me to stop first and ask God to reveal to me something new. There is always something there for us. Thank you for joining us for Three Word Wednesday. Blessings.
ReplyDeleteI loved that you didn't give into boredom but instead sought wisdom from God. He is so faithful to nourish us. Thank you for the reminder to seek and for sharing at WJIM's Monday's Musings. Blessings to you.
ReplyDeleteYour post reminded me of when Jesus said, 'Seek and you shall find.' There is so much depth in the Bible and so much to ponder and learn.
ReplyDeleteVisiting from the Titus 2sday link up. : )
Yes, to be content despite circumstances. I think I'll always be working on that. Thanks for the reminder! (visiting from Soli Deo Gloria)
ReplyDeleteGod's word speaks to our need. It is amazing how each time we read we gain a little bit more of God's message.
ReplyDeleteGodliness with contentment is great gain. Stopping by from Recommendation Weekend.
ReplyDeleteContentment.... that's a toughie. It's so neat that even the most tedious books in His Word contain such wisdom and encouragement. Thanks for caring enough to look for it.
ReplyDeleteLove that you linked this up with Recommendation Saturday! Heart Hugs, Shelly <3
Isn't it wonderful when God answers us! I fear we often ask and then miss His answer - how blessed you are to have found it! Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful reminder for us to ask and then listen for the answer. Thank you for sharing this! Love your snow images.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing that! Leviticus is hard and I love what He showed you in application. It's amazing when we take time to listen to His voice. Stopping in from Enchanted Homeschooling's blog hop.
ReplyDeleteYes! I too have found gems in Leviticus and Numbers during my read-through this year. It's incredible to ask God to open our eyes and then to actually see what He reveals to us! Thank you for sharing! (Visiting from Michelle DeRusha's linkup.)
ReplyDeleteI loved this post! Contentment is something I struggle with too. But, our good God will open our eyes if we simply ask!
ReplyDeleteThank you for stopping by the Thoughtful Spot Weekly Blog Hop this week. We hope to see you drop by our neck of the woods next week!
Thank you! And thanks for hosting the linkup! LOVE IT! <3
