**Leviticus 7:21** — *"If one touches anything unclean… and then eats any of the meat of the peace offering that belongs to the LORD, that person must be cut off from his people."*
The peace offering was communion made visible — fat and flesh presented before God, shared at His table. Israel understood that what you touched before you came to that table *mattered*. Holiness was not merely inward sentiment; it was guarded by deliberate preparation.
We carry this principle forward. Paul echoes it in 1 Corinthians 11:28 — *"Everyone ought to examine themselves before they eat of the bread and drink from the cup."* The covenant meal demands a clean approach, not because God is distant, but because He is near.
What we dwell in before we draw near shapes how we arrive.
Walk with that truth today — and let it slow you down before you rush into His presence.
