Leviticus 7:15, “And the flesh of the sacrifice of his peace offerings for thanksgiving shall be eaten the same day that it is offered; he shall not leave any of it until the morning.”
When I was growing up I would often wake up and go get a midnight snack on the weekends. I guess that is where I learned to like cold food. We did not have a microwave until I was a little older so there was no easy way to warm up things quietly. I still like cold pizza too.
This can apply spiritually if we are not careful. We; as Christians, can fall into the trap of living on leftovers. This is not good. If you are always looking back and remembering what happened yesterday it is high time to get back to reality. I have seen so many people who live in the past and it is a sad thing.
I believe that God is showing us we need to not live on leftovers. Maybe, I am off as we consider our passage of Scripture. We cannot live spiritually on what the Sunday School teacher tells us. We need to be searching the Scriptures daily and getting fed fresh “meat”. As we get fed we get stronger spiritually. There are far too many anemic Christians.
Will you commit to daily read the Word of God and pray? If you will, I can promise you that you will not regret it.
So, how are you doing?
Pray: Lord Jesus, give me a deep desire to read Your Word daily and meet You daily in prayer. Help me not to give You my leftovers. In Jesus’ name. Amen.”
