Leviticus 11:25 NLT
“If you pick up their carcasses, you must wash your clothes, and you will remain defiled until evening.”
Caution your hands
It is important to remember that not all missions are worth pursuing, and as faithful individuals, we must be careful to only engage in those that align with God’s will. Unless a mission is specifically commissioned by God, engaging in it cannot result in commendation from Him. Pursuing such an activity can also pressure us and lead us down a path that takes us farther away from our faith.
In today’s referenced scripture, God instructed the people of Israel not to dispose of the carcasses of any unclean animals. The consequences of such behaviour were severe. The defilement would prevent them from performing any religious activities until they had been cleansed. They would also have to take off their clothes and wash them, which was no small task for the people of Israel, given that water is scarce in the desert. If they were lucky enough to find water, the use would not directly benefit the people around them or even their flock; instead, they would have to use it to take care of something that could have been avoided if they had followed God’s instructions.
Therefore, we must always examine any activity before embarking on it to ensure that it does not separate us from our God and put us in a precarious situation. If an endeavour seems good, but God says no, don’t do it. By doing so, we can have fellowship with God and experience the blessings of following Him.
Prayer
Heavenly Father, I pray that I will not dabble into any endeavour that You did not commission. In Jesus’s name, Amen.
