The Nazirite could not even bury his own father. Holiness meant distance, because death stains whatever it touches. Then Jesus took a dead girl by the hand and life ran the other direction.

Keep me from calling…Father, guard my heart from any ambition that would step over another person to get ahead. Keep me from calling cruelty loyalty, or harm a service to you. Teach me to protect the ones who cannot protect themselves, even when no one is watching.

I forget so quickly what I already know of you. Remind me again today, and let the reminder do its work in how I live.
