I am using the daily Bible reading schedule from “The Bible.net” for my daily Bible reading.

Today, I am reading and commenting on Leviticus 1-4.

Today moves on to a description of the various sacrifices which the Israelites were required to make.  I found two things in this worth taking note of.  First, the passage makes a connection between the use of blood and fat in the various animal offerings and God prohibiting the Israelites from eating either.  I am not sure of the significance of this for us today, but there it is.  Second, the Israelites were only to offer animals without defect.  Here the significance is clear.  We should only bring our best to God, whether that is the material goods we offer, or the effort we put into doing His will.  It should not be an after though, or done carelessly.
