Leviticus 22:6

Strong Tower

A daily scripture exposition.

Friday, November 1, 2024

Leviticus: 22:6 NLT
“The man who is defiled in any of these ways will remain unclean until evening. He may not eat from the sacred offerings until he has bathed himself in water.”

The merciful God
In the referenced scripture, the Lord reveals that sin is not without consequences. The fact that this instruction centers on the priest suggests that no one is immune to sin. In other words, when the word of God says that all have sinned and fallen short of God’s glory, it is for all to internalize.

Another insight is that the Lord asserted that the one who sins will bear the consequences. The Lord said, “The man who is defiled in any of these ways will remain unclean until evening.” The priest who is found wanting will remain unclean until evening. This suggests that God is merciful to sinners; otherwise, He would not have said that the consequences of our sin here on earth have an expiry period, especially when we own up.

To restore the priest’s privilege of consuming the sacred offerings, he must first come to terms with his unclean state and then undergo a cleansing ritual. This process is emblematic of our spiritual journeys today. We must take that first significant step of confronting our spiritual condition honestly and humbly.

Take a moment to reflect on this: Are you consistently engaging with the Word of God, allowing Him to shed light on hidden sins and areas of your life that may need transformation? Consider the poignant question posed in Psalm 119:9: “How can a young person stay on the path of purity? By living according to your word.” Let this scripture serve as a daily reminder of the profound cleansing power of divine truth, urging you to pursue a deeper relationship with God and commit to a life marked by His principles and guidance.

Prayer
Heavenly Father, please help me to own up to my shortcomings. As I study Your word, please purify me with Your truth. Help me, God. Amen.

Mission statement
Reaching out through love, teaching the truth, and humbly leading all nations to God through Jesus Christ.

Vision statement
A ministry where people from all walks of life can fellowship with one another and worship God through Jesus Christ in Spirit and in truth.
