February 8th, Leviticus 22-23
Tradition: the living faith of the dead.
Traditionalism: the dead faith of the living.
Tradition is a great thing. It informs us about our past. Gives us a way to remember important things that we might otherwise forget. God invites his people to remember well. Remember God's provision, his faithfulness, his power, his holiness, our need of Him.
Somehow writing down that we should remember these things seem a little dry or potentially uninspiring. But if you or I wrote down our traditions surrounding birthdays, Christmas, thanksgiving, or any of the othe things we celebrate it might not capture the true richness of those moments. As you read about the traditions God asks his people to remember, don't just hear a list. God asks us to remember great things. The definitions at the beginning of this article are a reminder of the difference between remembering and remembering well. What are some great things you want to remember about God?
