**Leviticus 19:8** — *"Whoever eats it will bear his iniquity, for he has profaned what is holy to the LORD. That person must be cut off from his people."*
This is not a passage about food. It is a passage about *boundaries between the sacred and the careless.*
In ancient Israel, the peace offering carried covenant weight — it was not merely a meal, it was communion with a holy God. To treat its remains carelessly, beyond the appointed time, was to collapse the distance between reverence and routine.
We do the same. We receive what is holy — the Word, the Table, the mercy of God — and sometimes handle it without pausing to consider what we are holding.
Stewardship of the sacred is not a ritual category. It is a posture of the heart.
Scripture reminds us that what God calls holy, He calls holy for our sake as much as His own.
May we dwell near enough to the sacred to feel its weight.
