Scripture Readings:  Psalm 38:1-12, Leviticus 11:20-13:23, Acts 7:30-8:3

Reflection Verses:  Leviticus 13:9-11

Reflection:  God provided for the health and safety of His chosen people by using the priests to function as physicians in determining the nature and severity of a disease and how it may affect the community. A person could not make his own diagnosis. In like manner, those who could infect others with a disease were kept away from the community as much as possible until their crisis is over. Look at God! HE will keep us safe and healthy in times of disease/pandemic, when we listen to and respect the instructions that HE gives us through those he called to make those decisions. Meditate on that!

Prayer:  Holy Father, You are omnipotent and omniscient! I stand in awe at Your power, knowledge and wisdom. Thank You, Lord for providing for us in ways that we don’t even consider. Thank You for my health, Lord – and Thank You for those who I can depend on to keep me in good health, so that I may continue to faithfully serve You… In Jesus’ Name.  Amen.
