Today's verse is Leviticus 1:3
If his offering be a burnt sacrifice of the herd, let him offer a male without blemish: he shall offer it of his own voluntary will at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation before the LORD.
In this verse we find a very important principle, Sacrifices are to be made as a free will gift. The exception are sin and trespass, those being an answer for wrongs which we have done to ,in part, atone and make right for those things (and are now covered by the cross of Christ.) But, in general, sacrifices are not to be compelled by another, else it would not be a sacrifice. Just as an act of love, if forced is not love. So, for now, make whatever sacrifices you will, but do not ever demand in return others to sacrifice for you. For God is your sufficiency in all things, as demonstrated by his Son who freely gave his life for you. Amen.
To God be the Glory
Scott
