In one of my readings this morning, I found myself in Leviticus 19. In the first eighteen verses of this chapter, the same statement appears four times. The words recorded in these verses were words spoken by God to Moses. The words are instructive, giving direction on how to live as the Lord would have us live.
As I read all the statements of shall and shall not, what struck me most deeply was not the instruction but rather, the simple but profound little statement, I am the Lord.
Four times in these verses, this statement appears. After a set of instructions we find, I am the Lord. Then we find another set of instructions and then the profound statement again.
As I have reflected on these verses this morning, I am reminded that regardless of the situation, He is the Lord.
Today, if you are facing a difficult decision, remember He is the Lord.
If you are living through struggles today, remember, He is the Lord.
If you are having the best day ever, remember, He is the Lord.
Nothing we experience changes the fact that He is the Lord.
So go out today with the confidence and peace of knowing that He is the Lord!
