February 27

In Leviticus 26, God lays out the blessings of obedience and the consequences of disobedience. He promises abundant provision, peace, and His presence for those who follow His commandments: “I will walk among you and be your God, and you shall be My people” (Leviticus 26:12). However, for those who reject Him, there are sobering warnings of discipline intended to lead them back to repentance. Leviticus 27 concludes the book with instructions on making vows to the Lord, emphasizing that God values commitment and integrity in worship.  

Psalm 112 paints a picture of a person who fears the Lord and delights in His commands. This person’s life is marked by stability, generosity, and unshakable trust in God: “Surely the righteous will never be shaken; they will be remembered forever” (Psalm 112:6). This psalm reminds us that a life rooted in reverence for God leads to blessings that extend beyond our circumstances.  

In Hebrews 10, we are reminded that Christ’s sacrifice fulfills the requirements of the law once and for all. The chapter emphasizes the sufficiency of Jesus’ offering, which cleanses us from sin and grants us direct access to God: “Let us draw near to God with a sincere heart and with the full assurance that faith brings” (Hebrews 10:22). It also calls us to persevere in faith, encouraging one another as we await Christ’s return.  

These passages together highlight the faithfulness of God’s promises and the call to respond with reverence, obedience, and unwavering faith. Leviticus 26 shows us the blessings of walking in God’s ways and warns of the consequences of turning away. Psalm 112 encourages us to fear the Lord and trust Him, knowing that He provides stability and light even in darkness. Hebrews 10 assures us that through Christ’s perfect sacrifice, we can approach God with confidence and live with the hope of eternal life.  

As believers, we are called to live lives that reflect God’s holiness and grace. We are invited to draw near to Him, trust in His promises, and persevere in faith. Through Jesus, we have the assurance of God’s presence and the strength to walk in His ways.
