Perhaps the one verse that really stood out in my mind was in Chapter 20 where God is speaking to the people of Israel through Moses and he says in verse 26: "You shall be holy to me; for I the Lord am holy, and I have separated you from the other peoples to be mine." Earlier in Chapter 19, verse 18, the Lord says to Moses to tell His people: "..... you shall love your neighbour as yourself: I am the Lord." The path that the Israeli people had to follow as they made their way with the Lord in front of them as a cloud by day and a fire by night was very strict and the laws of God and they were many had to be obeyed at all times.
Tomorrow I will complete the reading of Leviticus moving on to the chapter Numbers. As I look back over a lifetime it is a long time since I have read all the books of the Bible one after the other. I have been reading the daily Bible verses for a long time now but actually reading the Bible page by page is a better way I think.
Today is Cleaning day two and it is the main floor. We have now completed the changes upstairs so that each of us has a room for our desks and materials to do our work but away from our sleeping area. I think that works very well and just happens to also be practical in this house. Although quite small in actual square footage the division into rooms lends itself to taking advantage of the ability to separate one's work from one's sleeping.
When we move I shall probably work in the kitchen or part of the living room as we intend to buy a smaller house. That will not be for a few years though so will take this opportunity to begin the downsizing which I need to do to move.
Probably not much work done today as I am doing a slightly more thorough cleaning which takes up more of the day. Worthwhile for sure in the long run. We are having a warm spell for this week and then perhaps cooling again although it is July now and Canada Day and generally July is hot and dry.
Solitaire puzzles next and then the cleaning.
