Pembacaan Alkitab: Imamat 14
Setiap orang yang memiliki penyakit kusta menjelang hari pentahirannya, yakni di mana ia sudah sembuh dari kustanya, maka ia harus datang kepada imam untuk diperiksa dan setelahnya ditahirkan melalui persembahan dan percikan darah korban, mencuci dirinya, mencukur segala rambut dan bulu, mengorbankan korban tebusan salah, membubuhi darah dan minyak kepada cuping telinga kanan, ibu jari tangan dan kaki kanan. Hal ini dilakukan untuk mentahirkan kembali orang yang terkena kusta agar dapat kemblai kepada rakyat lainnya. Dan korban tebusan salah itu menjadi bagian imam untuk di makan. Bisa dikatakan bahwa Tuhan mengatur sedemikian rupa agar para imam melayani umat-Nya dalam membawa umat-Nya menjadi kudus dan kepada ketetapan Tuhan dan sebagai upahnya, umat Tuhan membayar dengan korban. Sama seperti bila kita pergi ke dokter, kita perlu membayar biaya dokter, orang Israel membayar biaya dokter kepada para imam. Dengan begitu para imam tidak perlu bekerja di ladang, dan menaati apa yang Tuhan perintahkan. Jadi, tidak ada yang perlu kita khawatirkan, semuanya Tuhan sudah atur sedemkian rupa agar umat-Nya tidak kelaparan dan berkecukupan. Jadi, bila memang Tuhan memanggil kita untuk suatu panggilan yang terlihat mustahil, ingatlah bahwa bagi Tuhan tidak ada yang mustahil, Ia mencukupkan, Ia memberikan hikmat, Ia memberikan kuasa pula. Jadi, berserahlah kepada Tuhan semesta alam, biarlah Tuhan yang mengatur segalanya dan lakukanlah bagian kita seperti yang Ia perintahkan dan bukakan kepada kita.

Bible Reading: Leviticus 14
Every person who has leper or skin disease and is coming towards his/her ceremonial cleansing, that is when he/she is clean from the disease, then he/she must come to the priest to be checked and then be cleansed through offering and sprinkling of blood of the offering, washing oneself, shaving all hair, offering a burnt offering as sin offering, putting blood of the offering and oil onto the lobe of right ear, right thumb and right big toe. This is done to cleanse the person who has leper or skin disease so that he/she may come back to the people. And the sin offering is for the priest to eat. It can be said that the Lord has organised it in such a way that the priest serves His people in bringing His people to be holy and to the statutes of the Lord and as their salary, the people of the Lord paid with offerings. It's just like if we go to the doctor we pay some fee, the Israelites paid that doctor fee to the priests. That way, the priests do not need to work in the field and thus obeying the Lord's command. So, there is nothing that we need to worry about, all has been organised in such away that His people will not go hungry and will be sufficient. So, if the Lord has a calling for us that seems impossible, remember that for the Lord nothing is impossible, He provides, He gives wisdom, He gives power as well. So, surrender to the Lord of the universe, let His organise everything and do our part as He commanded and revealed to us.
