Title: Teach The Difference

(S) cripture:
    Ezekiel 44:23 (NASB) “Moreover, they shall teach My people the difference between the holy and the profane, and cause them to discern between the unclean and the clean.

(O) bservation:
    In His instructions about the duties and roles of the Priests, God gives these instructions to Ezekiel.
        1. Teach the difference between the Holy and the profane
        2. Help the people distinguish between the clean and the unclean.
    This implies that people would not necessarily know these things. What is holy or unholy, clean or unclean is defined by God and the information is passed through the priests to the people. We should not be surprised when people do not know the difference.

(A) pplication:
    My desire is to be true to God’s Word as I teach and preach so that I can offer this kind of instruction and help to the people I serve. I want my teaching to be clear and understandable. I ask the Lord to correct me when I confuse the people. Today I want to speak the clear truth of the Word.

(P) rayer:
    Lord, help me be the priest you want and called me to be. As a pastor/teacher I need to get things right for me and for them. I want to be true to You and Your Word so give me clear understanding as I prepare and as I speak. Amen
