DAY 51 Read Leviticus 12 and 13.
Today's reading looks at some of the regulations for preserving the health of God's people.
Memory gem: "Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth" (3 John 2).
Thought for today:
The laws given through Moses concerning sanitation, hygiene, diet, and the control of communicable disease are astounding in their scope and exactness. Medical science today is just beginning to catch up with what was common knowledge to the ancient Israelites in the fifteenth century B.C. Public health played a prominent part in the deliverance of Israel from Egyptian bondage. It certainly helps to account for the fact that God's blessing was upon His people, and that "there was not one feeble person among their tribes'' (Psalm 105:37).
Afflictions will come to many of us in spite of the greatest care in obeying health rules. We are living in a degenerate age. We are a long way from the Garden of Eden, but obedience to God's instruction in all these things will bring us blessing and help, no matter what our condition may be. And let us remember the wonderful statement on Exodus 15:26: "I am the Lord that healeth thee."
May the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Creator of the world and the Redeemer of the human race, bless you and yours, physically, mentally, and spiritually--and may He prepare you for a place in that glorious new world which is to be yours and mine though His grace revealed in Jesus Christ.

Difficult or obscure words:
Numbers 14:34. "Breach of promise"--better: "your hindering of frustration of My promise." Israel's rebellious opposition prevented the fulfillment of God's promise.
