Be holy

Holy. Holy. Holy. Echoing through the old covenant. And God is clear about the requirements. For coming into His Presence. Following His plan.

Numbers 16 details the consequences for some who try to do it their own way. After all, they’re entitled. It’s only fair.

But the unconsecrated
fall dead.
Careless in their coming.

Second-guessing God’s appointments.
Their selfish, personal promotion
on display.

Be holy (1 Peter 1:15-16).

The realtors come to look at our house. Consider its selling features. Advise on what we must do as we get ready to place it on the market.

We know we need to clear the clutter. But their first comment? “You sure have a lot of books.”

A few books…

Why, yes. Yes we do.

Then comes the directive.

“Clear out this bookcase and that one and that one. Go ahead and pack those books. Store them out of sight.”
