[Today: Leviticus 26] Expedited Blessing – Accelerated Favor: In this chapter of Leviticus, God reiterates to Moses the prohibitions against idolatry that will be in force not only in the wilderness but in the Promised Land as well. Ancient practices of idolatry were driven by fear. Pagan worship was carried out to stave off crop failure, pestilence, barrenness, and many other misfortunes. God stipulates that HE is our God and our dependence, and our expectations are to be UPON HIM and not any other thing. From that perspective of repentance and faith, He promises to keep every promise handed down to you and me in the covenant He made with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
