"Since the LORD, your God, journeys along in the midst of your camp to deliver you and to give your enemies over to you, your camp must be holy, so that he does not see anything indecent in your midst and turn away from you." Deuteronomy 23:15
Deuteronomy 23 - You are holy. Moses had to insure the Holy of Holies stayed clean and pure so he gave instruction to the Israelites on how they could conduct themselves and be dedicated to this way of life. Jesus gives us the new covenant and the joy of keeping the temple pure and holy, this falls upon each of us. As you read Deuteronomy 23, these are the words Moses gives each of us as we prepare ourselves to enter the Holy of Holies on the Lord's day. We have been given Jesus, the Triune God to be blessed by Him and to be cleansed by Him so we may enter. Then we carry Him into the world giving away what He has given, using the salt to flavor our own lives and those that we encounter. Be blessed today that we do not have to live under the old temple rules yet we are required to honor the spirit of them in our daily lives. "Speak to the whole Israelite community and tell them: Be holy, for I, the LORD your God, am holy." Leviticus 19:2
What is God saying to me:
Dear Father, it has been a journey the past several weeks experiencing life and culture of all of Your creation. I am blessed to be able to experience all of this and continue to walk in Your midst. Thank You for the wonderful time spent with family, hearing stories that have defined who I am as a person and how You are using each of us to be the salt in a world that can become overpowered by the lack of Your Spirit. Prayers for a friend that has some medical difficulties may they be nothing and life continue as normal. Watch over each of us Lord and continue to draw us to You. I ask this in the name of Your Son, Jesus Christ, Amen.
Mary, Queen of all Souls, pray for us.
