Leviticus 9: Fire from the Lord

Gaining the approval of God is always dependant upon obedience. This moving chapter is an illustration of how pleased God really is when we just do what He wants us to do. The visible reaction of God in consuming the offerings by fire was a sign of His approval. It should also have been a lesson about His power to react strongly to sin. It might be a good lesson to keep reading into Leviticus 10 after finishing 9:24.
