Thought for Today: Thursday May 02

Laughter, tears, joys and fears... There is not a part of your life that YHVH does not share - or a part of you He does not love! And when YHVH's love lives in us, our lives become expressions of His love and messengers of His joy.

"Yahweh is with you, while ye be with him: and if ye seek him, he will be found of you, but if ye forsake him, he will forsake you."

2Ch 15

Today is day 5 (sunset 5/1 to sunset 5/2) of 50 days to Shavu'ot

Why does the High Priest wear linen next to his skin?

A picture of inner purity for eternal glory, perhaps? He sheds all glory at Yom Kippur and approaches God in humble righteousness. Ezekiel 9:2 says that angels also wear linen. This might be functional as well as symbolic and pleasing to God.
