God was telling the priest that if they weren't clean and ready they should stay away from the holy things. If we aren't in the right place today we can find that we might take lightly the things of God. For myself, I believe there may be times when because of something I struggle with or feel the best thing to do would be not preach on Sunday or teach a class maybe even not write. There are times when the world around us may cause us to become as it were unclean. The first thing we need to do is to get it taken care of. A great example of this in the New Testament is when Paul warns the Corinthians that if they take communion with a wrong attitude in their heart it may bring sickness or death. It sounds harsh but God is serious about what is in our life. Does God make us sick? Maybe, but if he does or if it is the attitude in us that causes the issue ultimately what matters is that we try to take the things of God seriously because there are consequences.
