Leviticus chapter 27, verse 34, these are the commandments that the Lord commanded Moses for the

people of Israel on Mount Sinai. Thus ends this book of laws and commandments.

Leviticus 27, verse 34 is the last verse in Leviticus, and as I reflect on it,

I am so overwhelmed by the goodness of God in giving His commandments.

I was thinking just this morning about God's grace and giving his word.

That's what he later says in Deuteronomy chapter 4.

I mean, what nation has a God like this who gives laws and commands for our good,

who does not leave us in the dark on how to experience good,

how to experience life.

Oh, when you see the book of Leviticus, don't see a book, I hope that your conclusion after even walking through some of these podcast episodes in the

book of Leviticus that you don't walk away thinking, oh, these commands from God are hard and

they're stiff and they're not helpful, that you would see, no, these are good and they're gracious

and they're wonderful. Yes, they're serious, but they're serious because God is serious about our good.

Oh, God help us to see this. You and I have been given commands from God for our good.

The laws of God are not for our bad. They're for us to experience life.

That God has spoken to us, that he's graciously

given us these commands, not so that we have to obey them, because we want to obey them,

because we know that in obeying them, we have life like true life. So God, we praise you for

your goodness toward us. We praise you for your word. We praise you for your laws.

We love them in a Psalm 119 kind of way. We love your laws. We want to meditate on them.

God, we pray that that would be the desire of our hearts more and more and more and more.
