Leviticus 1

Leviticus starts where Exodus left off.  The tabernacle has been built and now God meets with Moses in the tent and God meets the people at the altar of burnt offering.  What I appreciate from this chapter is the repeating verse "It is a burnt offering, a food offering, an aroma pleasing to the lord."  The verse makes me think of the presence of God with the people, the people just need a way of acknowledging the presece through thanksgiving.  The verse does not say "doing this will entice God into your presence.." as if we somehow need to conjur God up.

How often in my daily life do I forget God is with me, right next to me?  God is not just near me when I am thinking about Him, God is with me at all times. I should probably sit up straight...
