Introduction
Leviticus 19:32–37: Today’s reading admonishes the Israelites to avoid mistreating foreigners and to practice honesty in business dealings.
Today’s Key Verse: Leviticus 19:37 GNT
“Obey all my laws and commands. I am the LORD.”
Read
32 “Show respect for old people and honor them. Reverently obey me; I am the Lord.
33 “Do not mistreat foreigners who are living in your land. 34 Treat them as you would an Israelite, and love them as you love yourselves. Remember that you were once foreigners in the land of Egypt. I am the Lord your God.
35 “Do not cheat anyone by using false measures of length, weight, or quantity. 36 Use honest scales, honest weights, and honest measures. I am the Lord your God, and I brought you out of Egypt. 37 Obey all my laws and commands. I am the Lord.”
Reflect
What commands are outlined in today’s reading? Based on the readings from today and yesterday (Leviticus 19:1–18), what does a life of holiness look like for God’s people? What do these two readings teach you about God?
Pray
Lord God, you abound in mercy and deliver those in need. Help me to remember your blessings and be just and merciful to others, teaching me to obey your will and live by the pattern of your holiness. Amen.
