Scripture Union Daily Guide 19 January 2025 Outline
God commanded the Israelites to send any person who is sick with leprosy (most skin diseases) outside the camp (today’s isolation ward) whether they are children, parents, or siblings. Why? Read Numbers 5:1-3 again. This was a cleansing act to prevent the spread of the disease in the camp. That would be disastrous for the large group of people living in very close proximity.
God expects us to be totally loyal to Him and this requires a good measure of trust on our part. His judgments have a righteous purpose, and it is always for our good. Every known sin against anyone must be confessed to God and atoned for (Numbers 5:8b). And in such situation of a trespass against somebody, one should be able to say, “I am sorry” to the person we have grieved (Numbers 5:7; James 5:15-16). Because we find it difficult to say these three words, simple disagreements have resulted in bitterness, enmity, fighting, murders, and wars (Ephesians 4:31-32).
Is there someone you have hurt and to whom you should say, ‘I am sorry’? Then humble yourself and do it and let peace and good neighbourliness reign. And if there is need for physical action or restitution, do it.

Offer a prayer of faith in line with: Deuteronomy 28:11
Note the additional action that may be required in some cases to compensate for any loss suffered by the offended one (Numbers 5:7-8a).
Closing Prayer: Pray that the Lord may help you walk in holiness before Him each day.
