Leviticus 8-10, Psalm 32
Leviticus 10:8-9 (NLT)
“Then the Lord said to Aaron, ‘You and your descendants must never drink wine or any other alcoholic drink before going into the Tabernacle. If you do, you will die. This is a permanent law for you, and it must be observed from generation to generation.’”
In Leviticus 10:8–9, the Lord instructs Aaron on the importance of maintaining holiness while serving in the Tabernacle. Father-God prohibits the priests from drinking wine or other alcoholic beverages while performing their duties and establishes this as a lasting command for the priestly line throughout their generations.
These verses stood out to me because after I was saved, I became more aware of the importance of living a life of holiness. I realized that to listen clearly to the Holy Spirit, I need to maintain a clear and alert mind. Even a small amount of alcohol clouds my judgment and leaves me feeling unfocused the next day. I want to remain spiritually prepared to serve the Lord and to discern His will in my life. One biblical commentary noted that living a life of holiness allows a believer to approach Father-God with reverence, clarity, and purity.
When I reflect on my own life, I can see that many of my poorest decisions were made when I drank too much. These verses remind me that choosing holiness leads to better discernment and wiser decisions. When my mind and spirit are clear, I am better able to recognize the guidance of the Lord and walk in obedience to His will.
If these verses resonate with you—if you feel drawn to place your faith in Jesus Christ, the One who guides us toward wisdom and discernment—this may be your moment. Open your heart to Him. Speak to Him in prayer, expressing your trust, your desire to walk with Him, and your willingness to welcome His presence into your life. God is faithful and ready to meet you exactly where you are.
Heavenly Father, I give You my life. Please forgive me for all my sins and wash me clean through the blood of Jesus. I believe in my heart that You raised Jesus from the dead, and I confess with my mouth that Jesus is my Lord and Savior. Right now, I receive Your forgiveness and the gift of salvation. Thank You, Lord—I am saved, I am forgiven, I am clean, and I am made new in Jesus’ name. Amen.
If you prayed this prayer, welcome to the family of Father-God! I encourage you to find and join a Holy Spirit–filled, full-Gospel, Bible-based church where you can grow in your faith and experience the Lord’s love, signs, wonders, and miracles in your life.
