DAY 9 OF 14

Laws of Purification

If the man who is unclean does not cleanse himself, that person shall be cut off from the midst of the assembly, since he has defiled the sanctuary of the Lord.
Numbers 19:20 (ESV)

God laid out many laws when He led the Israelites out of Egypt, to protect them as they lived in big numbers.

God commanded the Israelites to maintain cleanliness, instructed them to keep away from things that are unclean (and that may contaminate), and imposed quarantine measures for those who might be unclean. With the current pandemic, we are now acutely aware of the importance of maintaining a high level of hygiene.

We also need to protect ourselves from within and purify our hearts as we draw near to Him and enter His sanctuary (James 4:8). 

Prayer:

God, we ask that You cleanse the world of the virus that is infecting us. Help to purify us as we yearn to draw close to You and seek Your protection. Have mercy on us Lord.

About this Plan

Through the Bible: Numbers

The book of Numbers, as the Hebrew name suggests, is the Israelites’ travelogue in the wilderness, from Mount Sinai to the plains of Moab, right before entering the Promised Land. Because of the Israelites’ disobedience, the 11-day journey turned to 40 years! But rest assured, God always restore His people to the place of blessings as soon as we return to Him. Come journey through Numbers with us.
