Boxer Shorts.  
Priestly wear.....    
Wear it....   
or die. 
...WHAT??       

Exodus 28:42 You shall make for them
linen undergarments
to cover their naked flesh.
They shall reach from the hips to the thighs; 
43 and they shall be on Aaron and on his sons
when they go into the tent of meeting
or when they come near the altar
to minister in the Holy Place,
lest they bear guilt and die.
This shall be a statute forever for him
and for his offspring after him.   

Boxer shorts... more than style  

What impacted me was that
What I do in this realm - material / physical
has an effect in the Spiritual..
What happens in the Spiritual
effects the physical....

Later on in this passage Moses tells the recipe
for Sacred Anointing Oil
and Sacred Incense
In the instructions is a stern warning
not to make this for any other use except for
in the Tabernacle / Temple ref Ex 30:22-38
Excommunication was the consequence of disobedience.....

But WHY?

And as my parents said, "Because I said so."

In 1 Cor 11:27-32 Paul gives instructions on how to
eat bread and drink wine.... at the Lord's Supper....
Unworthy manner = weak, sick even death.

What I do, has an effect in this realm and the other realm...
which affects this realm...

not confusing
but sometimes
surprising....

Lord,
Thank You for reminding me
to 'connect the dots'
that what I do here
is important
has an effect further than I know
what is done in secret
will be shouted from the roof tops...

Lord,
I choose to listen
and
obey
knowing that the reasons are
bigger than I know.

Thank You Jesus
for giving Your Spirit
to instruct me
today.
