Leviticus 27:28
28"But no devoted thing that a man devotes to the LORD, of anything that he has, whether man or beast, or of his inherited field, shall be sold or redeemed; every devoted thing is most holy to the LORD.
Reflection:
Things or persons devoted to the Lord are distinguished from things or persons that were only sanctified. Devoted things were most holy in the eyes of the Lord God and could neither be taken back nor applied to other purposes. Whatever productions they had the benefit, God must be honored with the tenth of, if it could be applied. Thus they acknowledge God to be the Owner of their land, the Giver of its fruits, and themselves to be his tenants, and dependent to him. Thus they gave him thanks for the plenty they enjoyed, and besought his favor in the continuance of it. We are taught to honor the Lord with our substance. (Le 27:34).
God spoke to me today that as his son I must be devoted to Him. He told me to set apart for him my time, resources, talents and everything I have. He reminded me also that being devoted to him I should also consecrate myself from the things that can contaminate my mind, body and spirit. Most of all He reminded me to Love Him and obey His commands.
