Leviticus 23
List of festivals that the Jews celebrated. 

e.g. Feast of passover, Feast of firstfruits etc...
There were many festivals which the Jews celebrated to thank God for the many blessings that He has place upon their lives. For us, we mainly have Christmas, Easter and Good Friday. However, I feel that thanksgiving should be present every single day in our lives.

Let's try to find something worthy of celebration everyday in our lives. Thank God for His abundant blessings! Today I thank God that He led me into teaching. He is a God who knows all my ways indeed! (:

Numbers 5
Ceremonially unclean person isolated
In the Old Testament, many times when someone became unclean, they have to seperate themselves from the rest of the camp so that they do not come into contact with people who are cermonially clean. This shows how God is particular about purity of the congregation. Even if there is one impure person, it "contaminates" the camp. Let's pray towards having pure hearts and clean minds today.

Confession and Restitution
Concerning unfaithful wives
- Law of jealousy. (Kinda like how the Chinese burn paper and put into the water and drink)

Numbers 6
The Laws of the Nazirite
The Priestly Blessing
God told Moses to tell Aaron and sons how to pray and bless the children of Israel. 

‘This is the way you shall bless the children of Israel. Say to them:24 “The Lord tbless you and tkeep you;25 The Lord tmake His face shine upon you, And tbe gracious to you;26 tThe Lord tlift up His countenance upon you, And tgive you peace.” ’27 t“So they shall tput My name on the children of Israel, and tI will bless them.

Can we pray for people like that? Me like (: 

Reminds me of the show: Jane Eyre
So as the Lord is longsuffering, so shall we be. hahahaha
