Promise 3 from Leviticus 6:18
Lev. 6:18 - "Every male among the sons of Aaron may eat it (grain offering); it is a permanent ordinance throughout your generations, from the offerings by fire to the Lord, whoever touches them will become consecrated." - The commentary in the New American Standard Bible, Zondervan 1999 edition says that, "The purpose for the grain offering is an expression of a voluntary act of worship; recognition of God's goodness and provisions; and devotion to God." God specifically instructed that every male throughout all the generations from the line of priests should eat of this offering of worship and adoration to God. And by doing so, the promise is that they will be consecrated, or (be dedicated or declared sacred, holy, set apart for Him). God said that this is a forever ordinance. When we step into (or touch) that offering of worship, when we are drawn into a climate and environment of worship, when we taste the worship and adoration and let it become a part of us then God's promise is that through the worship we become sacred, we become holy, we become set apart, lifted up and recognised by Him as His. God is pleased with our offerings and when we join other's offerings of praise and worship to Him.
