Numbers 6:1–8 EASY: The Lord said to Moses, ‘Tell the Israelites this: “A man or a woman may want to make a special promise to the Lord. That will make him or her separate from other people, as a Nazirite. They must not drink wine. They must not drink any alcohol or vinegar. They must not drink the juice of grapes, or eat grapes or raisins. They must not eat the seeds of grapes for all the time that they are Nazirites. They must not even eat the skins of grapes. A person must not cut his hair during the time that he is a Nazirite. He must be different all the time that he is separate for the Lord. He must let the hair on his head grow long. He must not go near a dead body while he is separate for the Lord. His hair shows that he is separate for God. So he must not go near a dead body. He must not go near it even if the dead person is his father, mother, brother or sister. During the time that the person is a Nazirite, they are holy because they belong to the Lord.
A man or woman could choose to make a Nazirite vow, setting themselves apart for the Lord. Their commitment showed that they belonged fully to God. God desires a heart devoted to Him. Sometimes following Him means giving up distractions so we can draw closer to His presence.
Dear Blessed Lord Jesus, remove distractions and help me live devoted to You. Love You, thank You, praise You and give You all the honor and glory in Your Mighty Precious Name Lord Jesus Amen.
