Leviticus 16-17

(March 29, 2010)
I read chapters like this and I worry about myself. I cannot read chapter 16 without wondering what Aaron must have thought – losing his sons.  I am certain he loved them, but the Lord took them and then gave commandments to Aaron to keep on working.

I know intellectually that the Lord has a plan for everyone, and He is perfectly just.  It just seems difficult to see that while looking at something like this.  And I worry if the fact that I see this in some way indicates a lack of faith or worthiness in me as a reader.
