Leviticus 21:16-21
16 GOD spoke to Moses:
17 "Tell Aaron, None of your descendants, in any generation to come, who has a defect of any kind may present as an offering the food of his God.
18 That means anyone who is blind or lame, disfigured or deformed, crippled in 19 foot or hand, 20 hunchbacked or dwarfed, who has anything wrong with his eyes, who has running sores or damaged testicles.
21 No descendant of Aaron the priest who has any defect is to offer gifts to he has a defect and so must not offer the food of his God
Crippled in foot and hand was also recorded in the books of the leviticus as a physical disability. The man who was paralyzed in the foot and hand can not be entered into the most holy temple of God. Those who paralysis in the feet means that he could not walk. The man who was paralyzed at the hands means the person can not write, eat, shake hands, holding something, etc..
leg has the function to walk and hands to work, which is working to glorify God's name .
Now, how if the feet and hands of our spiritual are paralysis or crippled?
is very unfortunate. God gave us the great commandment in mark 16:15: "And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature." If we are unwilling and reluctant to testify for many people, it means that our spiritual legs is paralyzed or crippled. We do not want to walk according to God's will. We do not want to move to serve God from one place to another. And we were more concerned with "our own regional".
so when we do not want to give, then it means that our spiritual hands is paralyzed. We also do not want to do good,even if we are go to the church. We also do not want to do God's work.
Perfect hands spiritual means we have the sincerely heart to do God's work. Of course our physical hand are limited strength but the hand of God has unlimited power to enable us to do God's bidding.
We must to know our spiritual defect as early as possible. Because if we do not know then we really are not worthy to enter God's house .To continue to reflect on scripture or word of God, indeed God will give us the knowledge of spiritual defects that we have. Are our spiritual hands paralyzed? or perhaps our spiritual foot are paralyzed? let us see and explore in our lives with God's word! !!
God bless you.
