(Proverbs 15:16)
Better is a little with the fear of the LORD than great treasure and trouble with it. (Pro 15:16 ESV)
Trouble is trouble. Why do we seek out that which will bring us trouble? Our first order of business should be to seek what the Father wants for us, then act accordingly.

(Psalm 26, Mark 9:2-32, Exodus 39-40)
Psalms – How amazing it must be to, like this psalm, plead with Yahweh to judge your heart and actions. I try my best to live a set apart life, but I know myself, and I am so thankful for the grace given me by the sacrifice of Jesus.
Mark – Jesus lived his life in prayer in fasting, and was always ready for any turn of events. What can we do to be more like this?
Exodus – When we read all of the technical stuff about the tabernacle, we should keep in mind that our bodies are now the temple of the Holy Spirit. We need to make sure that we take just as seriously how holy we should be living. Are we consecrated like the tabernacle? Or do we let unclean things into the temple of Yahweh? And then, be thankful for the grace given because in the time of Moses, people would’ve been struck dead for such violation. And then, strive to be more of a true temple.

(Proverbs 20:7)
The righteous who walks in his integrity-- blessed are his children after him! (Pro 20:7 ESV)
I, at this point, don’t have any children. But I don’t think that’s the point. This is a concept the Christians can find all throughout the New Testament, as well. Follow our Lord and be an example of Him to the world.
1 Year Bible Plan
(Psalm 27:1-6, Mark 9:33- 10:12, Leviticus 1-3)
Psalm – Every beat and meter of this psalm is all about lifting up Yahweh, and in effect Yahweh lifting us up. Why is it so difficult to have my every thought be about God. I know we’re in a fallen world, but when do I get to move past that excuse? This is so beautiful. This is what I want.
Mark – “If anyone wants to be first, he will be last of all and servant of all.” We lead by example, and we don’t ask anyone to do that which we won’t/haven’t done ourselves.
Leviticus – This is considered by many (me among them most of the time) to be the most boring book in the Bible. But, if you’re willing to look there’s so much in here. There are all of these rules but the question is why are there all of these rules. And what do they symbolize. And, I think, modern Christianity has done a disservice to the book of Leviticus. Since we’re taught that we are no longer to observe Torah, we see this book of laws that we don’t have to follow anymore and we think, “well, really, what’s the point of reading this book?”
