Gird Up Your Loins
This week we congregate to acknowledge the command given to us in regard to the Feast of Unleavened Bread. Chametz (yeast) is to be removed from the congregation which is called to be holy. Tradition doesn’t allow for the smallest amount of chametz to remain at Passover. Just as we remove it from our homes and lives, we also must remove it from the Body. Whether in a person’s life or in a congregation, sin must be dealt with properly so we can hear from Him clearly. It cannot be excused, overlooked, or swept under the rug. In Job 38:1-3, when Job was confronted with the circumstances of his life the Father told him to “prepare yourself” (gird up your loins) because he was about to put him to a task that would require all of his ability. In conjunction with the removal of leaven, the Almighty emphasized on the first day of unleavened bread, when He brought His people out of Egypt, that they had to eat in hast and with their loins girded. Meaning, to be ready at a moments notice with nothing in our lives that could keep us from hearing His call with clarity.
