Scripture: Numbers 19:20
"But if a person who is unclean does not purify himself, he must be cut off from the community, because he has defiled the sanctuary of the Lord."
Observation: Anyone who is unclean will in turn pollute or cause the rest of the community to become unclean. Only if he purifies himself before the Lord can he once again become clean.
Application: Know that my actions affect much more then just myself. When I become unclean or commit an unclean action it has the potential to affect everyone around me. Even the smallest decision I make can have huge consequences for the people directly around me like my family and friends. Therefore I should make every effort to meet God in everything I do. Ultimately it is God who will restore cleanliness therefore He should be my priority above all else.
Prayer: Lord I am broken and lost and I pray that my uncleanliness will not hinder others form achieving their goals in life. My next step is hidden from my view Lord so I pray that you would allow me to put aside the distractions of life and focus on your will for my life. Lord thank you for each new day and the opportunity for a fresh start at meeting you in every aspect of my life. Help me to lift others up and encourage my house-mates and friends to put their walk with You above all else.
