DAILY MANNA FOR TODAY
Leonard Syme, a professor of California at Berkeley, indicates the importance of social ties and social support systems in relationship to mortality and disease rates. He simply underscores the saying that attack is the best defence. Defiant posture to defilements regardless the form or the size is the panacea to living holy.
This is the gem in the seemingly extensive and meticulous dietary regulation outlined in our passage, which serves a crucial purpose beyond maintaining physical health. To the Israelites, it was a constant reminder to their distinct identity and calling on one hand and a perpetual prompt to seek holiness and live in constant obedience to God in all aspects of life on the other hand. In the same way, believers today are called to maintain a distinct identity in the world. Our lives must be marked by holiness, obedience, and respect for God’s commandments.
Our text, on the surface, sets forth the dietary restrictions on fowls or birds (Leviticus 11:13-19) and flying insects (Leviticus 11:19-23), but at a deeper level they are part of a larger tapestry of holiness and obedience to God’s laws.
The hallmark of this dietary law is the indelible imprint of God’s work in them and the call to live lives directed by God. The regulation constantly reminds the Israelites that they are a different and separate people who should by no means live the same way or share common values with the surrounding nations. As the distinction exists between clean and unclean animals, birds or creeping creatures so is there an uncompromisable difference between the Israel of God and other nations. Their food choices reflect this consecrated, holy identity.
How this speaks to you, the “ecclesia”, called out one today. If you are saved, your only option is to be separated to live holily before the Lord Who saved you: “But just as He who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do; for it is written: “But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy” (1 Peter 1:15,16). These detailed and seemingly complicated instructions underscore the place of God’s amazing grace and the unmerited favour He shows to us by His covenant loving-kindness.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Passion for heaven necessitates strict separation and unqualified obedience to the word.
