Today we begin a new book and it starts with explanation of the the sacrifices that need to be made and the rules of those sacrifices. I know that there is a purpose to them, but at this point there is really no explanation. I know that at one point I did question the way sacrifices were done in the OT, but I if you listen to the wording of the way sacrifices are handled you notice that they are similar to the words used in the sacrifice of Jesus. So Jesus' sacrifice took the place of all of the different types of sacrifices that will be mentioned throughout Leviticus.
Psalm 57 reiterates God's steadfast love and faithfulness during times of struggle for David. He continues to praise God for those things knowing that he will protect him and get him through whatever difficult situation that he is going through. This is something that we should continue to remember as it should calm our spirits and help us to get through rough times.

I guess I am not very familiar with the wording from Jesus’ sacrifice as I don’t understand the correlation. The reading seems just very instructional but I don’t see the significance. Maybe once we get to they part it will make more sense.
The psalm is prefaced with “when David had fled from Saul into the cave”. I continue feeling the need to know the story so I can put this in the proper context. I’m sure we will read about David and Saul later. It does read as praise and remembrance of what god has done for him and continued to do.
