As you read today’s lesson, what did you think about? Did you learn anything new about God’s character and His expectations of you? Did the Lord speak anything to you about who you are and what He is wanting from you? Did He reveal any new insight or did you have new questions about God or people? What can you take away from this text today?
Today’s reflective question: “Do I understand and practice the ministry of receiving another persons confession and proclaiming the forgiveness of Christ? If not, why not?”

The thing I thought most about today was how God had to teach them about cleanliness in a way we just understand it today. Many of the things described are common practice today. He literally was teaching them a whole new way of living, like we teach our own children. When you get dirty you need to bathe, when your clothese get dirty you need to wash them. Such simple tasks that they had to learn – and because He was teaching them to be set apart and look different then the rest of the world – how gross was the rest of the world?
What did I get out of the text? I actually am walking away with the thought of how I need to “wash” myself daily before the Lord. I need to come often to confess my sins and to repent/turn away from the things that displease God. It will be a process I will need to do daily until He has perfected me. But it is so much simpler this side of the cross :)
