“For I am the Lord your God. You shall therefore consecrate yourselves, and you shall be holy, as I am holy. Neither shall you defile yourselves with any creeping thing on earth.” Leviticus 11:44

God wanted His people to be different. He stooped down even to address their menu. Are we living wholly different from the world?  Are we living a life separated unto Him? Are we living a life turned away from the world and set toward Him?

“Whatever in the water does not have fins and scales–that shall be an abomination to you.” Leviticus 11:12

God may not restrict those saved by the blood of His Son from eating clams, but what about things like dating unbelievers? What about making excuses for why you should be granted a divorce? What things being done by those who are consecrated unto Jesus does He say grieves His heart?

“What remains of the flesh and of the bread you shall burn with fire.” Leviticus 8:32God already had the sin offering by the end of verse 17. He had established his desire to have our entire being at His disposal by the end of verse 24. Now He tells us He even wants the scraps, the extras. In our offering of consecration to Him, He desires us from first to last. Burn what’s left so I may enjoy the smoke of your life’s offering in my nostrils. He wants us!

“Nevertheless neither is the man without the woman, neither the woman without the man, in the Lord.  For as the woman is of the man, even so is the man also by the woman; but all things of God.”  1 Corinthians 11:11-12

Man and woman are spiritually one in the Lord and one cannot do without the other.  The woman may have come from the man at creation, but today man is born of the woman.  Man and woman belong to each other and need one another.  Both men and women are vital to the body of Christ.
