主讲：丘均发传道


 一、神寻找一颗悔改的心（利7:1-10）

1. 诚实面对亏欠（V1-6）
赎愆祭，强调罪已经造成具体的亏欠，需要面对，也需要赔偿。神详细规定祭牲要在哪里宰杀、脂油如何焚烧、祭司怎样献上。因为神要百姓知道：原来，我的罪，真的带来了死亡。

每一个罪都会破坏人与神、人与人的关系。真正拦阻我们亲近神的，不是罪有多大，而是我们不肯回头；因此，真正的悔改，是诚实面对并回转归向神。

2.甘心顺服秩序（V7-10）
这段经文表面讲祭物分配，实际显明神对敬拜秩序的建立。真正的敬拜需要热心，更需要顺服；神要百姓和祭司照祂的安排行事，因为神的家不是按人的意思建立，而是按祂的心意运行。

我们要学习顺服神的话，不凭自己的感觉，而是甘心顺服，因为知道神的安排总是最好的。

二、神寻找一颗感恩的心（利7:11-21）

1.感谢要表达出来（V11-14）
感谢祭是平安祭的一种，是人甘心献上的祭。这里特别强调：当人经历神的帮助、保守或拯救时，要主动来到神面前感谢祂，因为神要百姓用行动表达感谢。

神不要我们把恩典变成习惯，当恩典变成习惯，感恩的心就会慢慢消失。一颗随时感恩的心，是神最喜悦的祭。

2. 感恩要及时回应（V15-18）
神规定，感谢祭必须当天吃完；还愿祭和甘心祭可留到第二天，但第三天不可再吃。这不是因为食物会坏，而是神要百姓学会及时回应恩典。真正的爱与感恩，不会一再拖延，而是立刻回应神。

今天就是回应神的时候。该饶恕的人、该说的“谢谢”、该表达的“对不起”，不要再拖延，让神的感动化为行动。

3.把自己分别出来（V19-21）
神规定，不洁净的人不可吃平安祭的祭肉，祭肉沾染污秽也必须烧掉。这提醒我们：来到神面前，要存洁净、敬畏的心。

恩典不是放纵的借口，而是圣洁的呼召。真正的感恩，不是一次献祭，而是一生以圣洁回应神，因为神所看重的，是我们的心。

三、神寻找一颗敬畏的心（利7:22-27）

1.把最好的归给神（V22-25）
神禁止以色列人吃献给耶和华的脂油，因为脂油象征最好的部分。这表明最好的属于神，祂永远居首位。敬畏神的人，不把剩余的献给神，而是把最好的归给祂。

2.珍惜基督的宝血（V26-27）
血代表生命。“活物的生命是在血中”（利未记17:11）。神说：你不可以吃血，因为生命的主权在我。你不可夺取生命，也不可随意处置生命。

今天我们敬畏的，不是条例，而是为我们流宝血的救主。因着认识祂的爱，我们不敢轻看罪。

四、神寻找一颗分享的心（7:28-38）

1.把恩典分享出去（V28-34）
神规定平安祭的胸作摇祭、右腿作举祭，归给祭司。平安祭不是独享的筵席，而是献祭者、祭司和神一同有分，象征人与神和好后，也活在彼此分享、彼此供应的团契中。

真正的敬拜，从来不是‘我和神’而已，而是‘我们一起活在神的恩典里’；我们的奉献，会成为别人的祝福。这就是神国的原则。

2.把整颗心献给神（V35-38）
这段经文总结了祭司、祭物和献祭的条例，提醒我们：这一切都是神主动为罪人预备的救赎之路，带领人回到祂面前。今天，我们不必再献牛羊，而是将自己当作活祭，全心献给神；因为神所寻找的，是一颗完全属于祂的心。

总结：
今天，神看重的不是我们献上什么，而是我们是否把心献给祂；因为神要的，不是祭物，而是献祭者的心。



  

Leviticus 7 God Desires the Heart of the Worshiper
 GK611 Morning Devotion 
09.07.2026 
Speaker: Ps Daniel Kew


 I. God Seeks a Repentant Heart (Leviticus 7:1–10) 

1. Face Our Guilt in Honesty (V1–6)
The guilt offering emphasizes that sin brings real loss and requires both acknowledgment and restitution. God gave detailed instructions regarding where the sacrifice should be slaughtered, how the fat should be burned, and how the priests should present the offering. Through these instructions, God wanted His people to understand that their sin truly resulted in death.

Every sin damages our relationship with God and with others. What truly prevents us from drawing near to God is not the size of our sin, but our unwillingness to turn back to Him. Genuine repentance means confronting our sins honestly and returning wholeheartedly to God.

2. Submit to God's Order Willingly (V7–10)
Although this passage appears to focus on the distribution of the offerings, it actually reveals God's establishment of order in worship. True worship requires not only zeal but also obedience. God instructed both the people and the priests to follow His appointed order because His house is not built according to human ideas but operates according to His will.

We should learn to obey God's Word rather than relying on our own feelings, willingly submitting to Him because we know that His ways are always best.

 II. God Seeks a Thankful Heart (Leviticus 7:11–21) 

1. Express Your Gratitude (V11–14)
The thanksgiving offering was a type of peace offering voluntarily presented to God. This passage emphasizes that when people experience God's help, protection, or deliverance, they should intentionally come before Him to give thanks. God desires His people to express their gratitude through action.

God does not want us to treat His grace as something ordinary. When grace becomes routine, a thankful heart gradually fades away. A heart that continually gives thanks is the sacrifice that delights God most.

2. Respond with Gratitude Promptly (V15–18)
God commanded that the thanksgiving offering be eaten on the same day. Votive offerings and freewill offerings could be eaten on the following day, but nothing was to remain until the third day. This was not simply because the food would spoil, but because God wanted His people to learn to respond to His grace without delay. Those with genuine love and gratitude do not delay their response—they respond immediately to God.

Today is the day to respond to Him. The person you need to forgive, the "thank you" you need to say, or the "I'm sorry" you need to express—do not delay any longer. Let God's prompting become your action.

3. Set Yourself Apart for God (V19–21)
God commanded that anyone who was ceremonially unclean must not eat the meat of the peace offering, and any meat that became defiled had to be burned. This reminds us that we should come before God with clean hearts and reverent fear.

Grace is not an excuse for careless living; it is a call to holiness. True gratitude is not expressed through a single sacrifice but through a lifetime of holy living, because what God values most is our heart.

 III. God Seeks a Reverent Heart (Leviticus 7:22–27) 

1. Give the Best to God (V22–25)
God forbade the Israelites from eating the fat that belonged to the offerings made to the Lord because the fat represented the best portion. This demonstrates that the very best belongs to God, and He must always have first place. Those who fear the Lord do not offer Him what is left over; they give Him their very best.

2. Treasure the Precious Blood of Christ (V26–27)
Blood represents life. "For the life of a creature is in the blood" (Leviticus 17:11). God declared that His people were not to eat blood because the authority over life belongs to Him alone. Human beings are not to take life or treat it carelessly.

Today, what we revere is not merely a regulation, but the Savior who shed His precious blood for us. Because we know His love, we dare not take sin lightly.

 IV. God Seeks a Sharing Heart (Leviticus 7:28–38) 

1. Share God's Grace with Others (V28–34)
God commanded that the breast of the peace offering be presented as a wave offering and the right thigh as a contribution to the priests. The peace offering was not meant to be enjoyed by the worshiper alone. Rather, it was shared among the worshiper, the priests, and God, symbolizing that those who have been reconciled to God should also live in fellowship, sharing and providing for one another.

True worship is never simply "God and me"; it is "all of us living together in God's grace." Our offerings become blessings to others. This is the principle of God's Kingdom.

2. Offer Your Whole Heart to God (V35–38)
This passage concludes the regulations concerning the priests, the offerings, and the sacrificial system. It reminds us that all these provisions were God's gracious initiative to provide a way of redemption for sinners and to bring them back into His presence.

Today, we no longer offer bulls and goats. Instead, we present ourselves as living sacrifices, wholly devoted to God. For what God is seeking is a heart that belongs entirely to Him.

 Conclusion：
Today, God is not primarily concerned with what we bring to Him, but whether we have offered Him our hearts. For what God desires is not merely the sacrifice, but the heart of the worshiper.
