Numbers 4-6 = today's thoughts
Do you want to be a Nazirite? The term "nazirite" comes from the Hebrew word nazir meaning "consecrated" or "separated" To be a Nazirite was to set yourself aside for a period of time to be separate to the Lord. During this period of time you take specific precautions and steps to make sure that you are holy unto the lord. This wasn’t like a day of fasting, this was for periods of time greater than a month usually. I’m curious as to what this really looked like, did the daily life of this individual change during this vow, what did it mean. Going to have to do some more searching. But the bottom line question for the day is, how often do we make a conscious effort to set ourselves apart, holy and unto the Lord for a period of time to honor God and strengthen our relationship with him. I can’t say that I would win any special achievement award in this area. Something I should probably consider.
