Leviticus 16:20-22
Think
The practice in this passage may seem odd today. It was also odd in those days because instead of killing a near-perfect animal, this animal would be allowed to live.
Read the passage again.
- Picture yourself laying your hands on this precious animal's head. Even better, hold a stuffed animal, figurine, or even your pet, and put your hands on its head.
- Confess to God your acts or rebellion, your bad attitudes, and your harsh thoughts about others.
- Experience the feeling of transferring your sin to this animal. (Don't feel sorry for the animal. God didn't give it the capacity to take on hurt or guilt from your sin.)
- See yourself sending it off as it takes your sin away from you.
No amount of words will ever be adequate or quite right, but thank you for taking away my sin and allowing me to be in relationship with You.
Live
Quiet your mind and wait on God to show you situations in which you need to remember what you just did. Practice resting assured of God's love in those situations as you are resting assured now.
