No Strange Fire

There is a record in scripture of two of the sons of Aaron approaching the alter with “strange fire” resulting in their death. For years I have read this passage with the RCA dog look, wondering what in the world it was talking about. But over time I have learned about the patterns that Yahuah (Lord) has placed in creation.

Leviticus 1:1 And Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, took either of them his censer, and put fire therein, and put incense thereon, and offered strange fire before the Lord, which he commanded them not.
2 And there went out fire from the Lord, and devoured them, and they died before the Lord.

At the same time I have watched a friend of mine that made a creation that others wanted to promote, But as the promoted it they disected it. Then they reassembled it differently, and added things from elsewhere. The end result? Well, they created something, and it did in some ways resemble the original. But in many ways it did not, and some ways it seemed foreign. So what am I saying here?

When something is created with intent, it has that very intent in its make-up, its DNA. It is a mark from the one that made it. When we try to change the original purpose and design by substituting parts at less than a fundamental level, we create something that is misguided and misdirected. It is dysfunctional at best. And sadly it impacts others.

So let us not go down that road. Let us not be those that mix many things. Let us stay true to the course.

Prayer
Father we exalt You. You are our King! Bless the name Yahuah! We need Your kingdom here. Send us Your overwhelming provision. Forgive us our sins. Heal us from the inside. Deliver us from evil. Restore unto Your people more that in the Exodus. We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). Amen.
