Faith never knows where it is being led, but it loves and knows the One who is leading.

(ko tui ‘oku ‘ikai te ne ‘ilo ‘e ia ‘a e potu ‘oku tataki ia ki aí,  ka ‘oku ne ‘ilo‘i mo ‘ofa ‘iate Ia ‘oku ne tataki ia) - Oswald Chambers

You shall eat old store long kept, and you shall clear out the old to make way for the new. - Leviticus 26:10

Pea te mou kai ‘a e ta‘u kuo motu‘a ‘aupito; ‘io, te mou toki fakahū mai ‘a e ta‘u motu‘a kae fa‘oaki ‘a e fo‘ou.

LEVITIKO 23 (LEVITICUS 23)

VEESI LAULOTO: TEUTALONOME 31:8

Pea ko Sihova ko ia ia ‘oku hā‘ele mu‘omu‘a ‘iate koe; te ne ‘iate koe ‘e ia, ‘e ‘ikai te ne fakatukuhāusia‘i koe, ‘uma‘ā ha‘ane li‘aki: ‘oua ‘e manavahē, pea ‘oua ‘e lotosi‘i.

MEMORY VERSES: DEUTERONOMY 31:8

It is the Lord who goes before you. He will be with you; he will not leave you or forsake you. Do not fear or be dismayed.

Ko  e konga ‘o e palani ‘a e ‘Otua ma’a hono kakai kovinanite, na’e kau ai ‘a e ngaahi katoanga mo e ngaahi ‘aho fakamanatu na’e hoko ko ha taimi ke fakatahataha mai ai ‘a e kakai ke fai ‘enau lotu ki he ‘Otua.  Ko e kotoa ‘o e ngaahi fakahinohino na’e tuku mai ‘e he ‘e he ‘Otua ma’a hono kakai ‘i he tohi Levitiko na’e ‘i ai hono ‘uhinga pea na’e ‘i ai ‘a e mahu’inga ‘o e ngaahi ‘aho katoanga ki he va ‘o e kakai mo honau ‘Otua.  Ko e Sapate, ‘a ia na’e hoko fakauike, ko e ‘aho ‘o e malolo mo ha taimi ke nofo ai ‘a e kakai ‘o tokanga ki he ‘Otua.  Ko e ngaahi ‘aho katoanga na’e fakamanatu ai ‘a e huhu’i ‘e he ‘Otua ‘a hono kakai ‘i he nofo popula ki ‘Isipite pea mo faka’ilonga’i ‘a ‘ene tokonaki ki he’enau fiema’u fakamatelie mo fakalaumalie.  Ko e taha ‘o e ‘aho tapu na’e fakamanatu ‘e ha’a ‘Isileli, ko e ‘aho na’e ‘iloa ko e ‘aho ‘o e feilaulau angahala; na’e vete ai ‘e he kakai ‘enau ngaahi angahala pea fai ‘e he taula’eiki lahi ha feilaulau ma’a e kakai.  Ko e ngaahi ‘aho mahu’inga pehe ni na’e tokoni ke fakamanatu ki he kakai ‘a e ngaahi ngaue ma’ongo’onga ‘a e ‘Otua ‘i he fakatupu, fakahaofi mo’ui, malu’i mo ‘ene tokonaki. 

Part of God's plans for His covenant people included several festivals and holidays that served as a time for the people to gather together and worship God. All of the instructions God laid out for His people in Leviticus were intentional, and each of these festivals had important significance for their relationship with God. The Sabbath, which occurred weekly, was a day of rest and reflection meant to refocus the people's attention on God. The festivals celebrated God's redemption of His people from Egypt and His provisions for their physical and spiritual needs. The Day of Atonement contituted a day of self-denial in which the Israelites confessed their sins and the high priest made an atonement sacrifice. These special periods would also help the people remember God's acts of creation, deliverance, protection, and provision.
