Please read Leviticus 10.

Meditate on verse 10b.
Make a distinction between the holy and the profane,
and between the unclean and the clean.
For the past nine days, you have read what God requires to
enter His presence. The LORD expected strict obedience to these rules. Well,
Aaron, the priest, had two sons who did not take God at His word and decided to
enter God’s presence their own way. Scripture says they “offered strange fire
before the LORD, which He had not commanded them” (v. 1). Nadab and Abihu’s
blatant disregard for God’s Word so angered the LORD that fire came from His
presence and consumed them.
As a Christian, it is important to understand Leviticus 10.
God has a specific way to come into His presence, and that is through Jesus
Christ (John 14:6). If you believe other paths lead to God, you believe in
“strange fire.” If you attend a church that compromises God’s Word for the sake
of political correctness, you are in the midst of “strange fire.” And the LORD
does not tolerate “strange fire.”
Continue to read and study the Bible. Learn what pleases
God; treat Him as holy, and honor Him before all people (v. 3).
Pray Leviticus 10:1, 3, 10, and 11 over yourself and those
for whom you stand guard as a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).
“LORD, do not let _________ and
me offer You strange fire.
As we come near You, help us treat You as holy
and honor You before all the people.
Teach us to make a distinction between the holy and the profane,
and between the unclean and the clean.
For Your name’s sake, Jesus~”
