Day 49..."Peace Offering Instructions, Why Fear? Well Done"
Leviticus provides instructions for a peace offering and also alludes to food offerings. Humankind is never to eat of fat or blood we read in the close of chapter two. The Psalmists asks... "Why should I fear in times of trouble?" This is a good question. God's strength is to come in facing difficult issues. Matthew reminds us to be prepared through the parable of the 10 virgins and their lamps. One of the greatest stewardship lessons is include in the reading as well. We are to "use or lose" what God has given. Are we using what God has given us? We do long to hear those words like the man with five talents and the one with two ..."well done good and faithful servant"...for they doubled what they had been given. The following of Jesus will take us to unlikely people and places. When we have done it to the least of all, we have done it unto Jesus. Chapter 25 will get your attention! Be ready...be productive...be a servant to all!

While we will not know the day or hour, does the parable of the Virgins not indicate that we will have an idea when it is close to the return of the bridegroom? I believe that elsewhere it is recorded that we should be able to determine the seasons and be ready.... the bride makes herself ready.
