I wonder if it might be helpful to look at today’s passage from the perspective of the symbolism we attach to our own faith.  When we commit our lives to Christ we usually like to symbolise it in some way, and we are instructed to do so through baptism.  We might even choose to wear a cross.  We meet together to share the bread and the wine to remind ourselves of all Christ has done for us, and even to make a fresh commitment to serve Him each week.  When we get it wrong we humbly pray to God for His forgiveness, and claim the grace that is offered through Christ.  That is a helpful perspective with which to read todays passage.  The grain offering, which we first encountered in chapter 2, had many purposes.  As one of the ‘free will’ offerings, it could be made as an expression of reverence, a commitment of allegiance, a tribute to a gracious God, an offering of the first fruits of a person’s labour, a memorial offering to remember all God had done for the people of Israel and the individual worshipper.  We are reminded that the priests shared a significant portion of it together in fellowship and thanksgiving.  We are also told that a similar grain offering, in its entirety, was to be offered at a priest’s inauguration.  It is clear from the passage that this is not a small insignificant tribute.  It is a commitment, to be carried out with very specific instructions.  Our own tributes in our walk with God are equally significant, particularly where they are instructions from God through scripture.  Pray that God would give you a fresh perspective of the significance He attaches to your routines that He has established: baptism, communion, prayer.
