“Since the Lord your God
walks in the midst of your camp to save you and to defeat your enemies before
you, therefore your camp must be holy; and He must not see anything indecent
among you or He will turn away from you.” — Deuteronomy 23:14 (NASB)
When the Israelites were led
by Moses from Egypt toward Canaan, they journeyed for forty years. According to
the Lord’s word, they stayed in one place for several days, and when He
commanded, they set out again. During all those years, the Lord Himself walked
with them, guiding and protecting them.
The camp referred to
the area where the Israelites pitched their tents and lived. The Lord God moved
among them within that camp as their divine protector. Moses firmly believed
that God’s protection should never depart from Israel. Since the Lord is holy,
any form of impurity or uncleanness would cause Him to withdraw His presence.
Hence, God instructed Israel:
“Therefore, your camp must
be holy; and He must not see anything indecent among you or He will turn away
from you.”
Beloved, if we desire the
same divine protection that the Israelites enjoyed, we too must live holy lives
as spiritual Israelites. The Lord said,
“For I am the Lord who
brought you up from the land of Egypt to be your God; thus you shall be holy,
for I am holy.” — Leviticus 11:45 (NASB)
The Apostle Peter reminds us
of this same truth: “You shall be holy, for I am holy.” — 1 Peter 1:16
(NASB)
And the author of Hebrews further exhorts us:
“Pursue peace with all
people, and the holiness without which no one will see the Lord.” — Hebrews
12:14 (NASB)
In today’s meditation verse, we again read:
“Therefore, your camp must
be holy; and He must not see anything indecent among you or He will turn away
from you.”
Our heart — the dwelling
place of God — is like that camp. It must remain pure and undefiled. If
impurity is found within, the Lord will turn away. To behold God in our lives
and to grow in our relationship with Him, our hearts must be kept clean and
holy.
That is why our Lord Jesus
Christ said: “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.” — Matthew
5:8 (NASB)
The thoughts of our heart
are revealed through our words. As Jesus also said,
“The things that come out of
the mouth come from the heart, and those things defile the person. For out of
the heart come evil thoughts, murders, acts of adultery, other immoral sexual
acts, thefts, false testimonies, and slanderous statements. These are the
things that defile the person.” — Matthew 15:18–20 (NASB)
Our Lord God desires to walk
within the camp of our heart to save us. Therefore, our inner life must
be kept holy, so that He may not see anything unclean among us and depart from
us.
