"Depart ye, depart ye, go ye out from thence, touch no unclean thing; go ye out of the midst of her; be ye clean, that bear the vessels of the Lord."
Isaiah 52:11
Clean and unclean had some specific meanings in the Old Testament, but I think the overall symbolism is also at work here. When we are baptized, we are symbolically washed clean of our sins, and the idea of being clean spiritually is throughout the scriptures.
Today, let's think about our lives and the things that might get us dirty spiritually, just by getting too close. Let's watch where we go, what we do, and what we participate in, so that we can stay clean from the influence of the world and able to hear our Father in Heaven as he guides us.
