Sacred vs Common.

MORNING THOUGHTS ☕️

Leviticus is wearing me out. So many details. So many rules. So many different kinds of sacrifices and offerings. God sure loved a good barbecue back then, didn’t he:)!?

This line stood out to me this morning:

“You must distinguish between what is sacred and what is common.” - Lev 10:10

Sacred: devoted or dedicated to PURPOSE

Common: mediocre or ordinary

Distinguish: to perceive clearly and set apart as different

So…you must perceive clearly what is dedicated to purpose an set that apart from what is mediocre or ordinary.

I was just chatting with a girlfriend yesterday about decision making in your late 50’s. We both agreed it’s sooooo much different than when you’re younger. You realize the weight of decisions and that you don’t have the same luxury of just “trying things out” like you did when you were younger. Your time is shorter. You’re no longer willing to just do something to be doing it. It MUST be unto a purpose.

We can choose to just do the common thing…follow the safe path…do what everyone else is doing…don’t make waves or ruffle feathers or cause a stir. We can fly under the radar and hang out in the common area. OR…we can seek the sacred.

And p.s. the ordinary can also be sacred. So there’s that and a whole other convo. 😘
