Thoughts on Today's Verse...

Moses spoke these words after Nadab and Abihu dishonored God by their disobedience in the Lord's holy presence. Aaron was silent because God struck Nadab and Abihu dead. They had dishonored God's holiness, and God's holiness is unapproachable without the gift of his grace to enter into his presence. When we disregard God's holiness and do things the way we think is best, we profane what is precious and sacred. God will be known and shown as holy, if not by his people, then by God's remedial actions. Let's take our worship of God seriously, honoring him with our reverence and awe (Hebrews 12:28-29). Let's also refuse to confine our worship to only what we do in a church building or around other believers. Let's realize that all of our life is worship (Romans 12:1-2) and live out our lives with a commitment to be holy in all we do (1 Peter 1:15-16), both in the worship with our lips and the worship with our lives (Hebrews 13:1-16).

My Prayer...

Almighty and Most High God, who alone is holy in perfect righteousness, please forgive me for my sins. Cleanse me and make me holy by your Holy Spirit's transforming and sanctifying power. May my life be lived as a holy sacrifice to you — pleasing and acceptable and full of joy for all you have done for me. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
