I noticed something interesting in Leviticus 19 - after just about every command they were given, the phrase, "I am the Lord your God." is included. It may have done this earlier in the book, but it was just in this chapter that it really seemed to stick out to me.
Mixed in with the requirements that the Lord has given, comes the very clear reminder of the ultimate reason why God is able to make the statements He does. A short statement of His power and authority over every aspect of human life.
As with the obedience of the Israelites, for us to understand the "why?" isn't important, but for us to understand the "WHO" makes all the difference in the world.
