It;s a Mindful Monday. Today's reading takes me to the Book of Numbers 31:23. This is the chapter where Israel went to war with the Midanites. Based on the scrip, Israel saved all the women. Moses was upset because he knows the history of Israel and their strange women v.16" Behold, these caused the children of Israel, through the counsel of Balaam, to commit trespass against Yah in the matter of Peor." v.17 Moses directed them to kill every male among the little children and every woman that lies with man. Then they were directed to purify themselves.

The God of Israel commanded Moses, v.22 "Only the gold, and the silver, the brass, the iron, the tin, and the lead v.23 "everything that may abide the fire ye shall make it go through the fire, and it shall be clean; nevertheless, it shall be purified with the water of separation: and all that abideth not the fire ye shall make go through the water."
V.23 got me thinking similarly we are tried through the fire to be purified by way of trials and tribulations. Compared to gold, it suggests we are precious in Yah's eyes. Also, purified with the water of separation, also lines up with water baptism that we must undergo once in the truth. It's just another Mindful Monday. APTTMH!
