Some weeks ago I thought I should read through the bible again. From Genesis to Revelations. I really like Genesis and there were again a lot of things that sprang up to me. Then Exodus with Moses’s relationship with God is very interesting and encouraging. Now I’m half through Leviticus and I have to say it is the real test in bible reading. All those sacrifices. It goes on and on. It was a very bloody affair to worship God in those days. Make no mistake. Two of Aaron’s sons died because of a mistake in the procedure and were consumed by the fire of God. I’m sure glad that Jesus became the atoning sacrifice by dying for us.
Just imagine if today in worship we don’t put our hands high enough or sing out of tune the fire of God would come from the front and consume us.
It also makes me think that the presence of God that came to the tent is now in us through the Holy Spirit. Am I taking the relationship I have with God to lightly? In my life I experienced two occasions where the presence of God was so strong that it scared nearly to death.
