WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 9
Scripture: 1 Samuel 2:13

1 Samuel 2:13 says, “And the priests’ custom with the people was that when any man offered a sacrifice, the priest’s servant would come with a three-pronged fleshhook in his hand while the meat was boiling.” It is interesting that the word translated “custom” is the Hebrew word mish-pawt, the same word for “judgment” or “justice.” The unrighteous standard of justice that the priests chose to apply became evident when they illegally took the resources of others. The unrighteous standard they used determined the weight of the judicial standard God applied to them.
