Something Different About Those Anointed

Link to this post 17 minutes ago
Lev 10:6 Then Moses said to Aaron and his sons Eleazar and Ithamar, "Do not mourn by letting your hair hang loose[1] or by tearing your clothes. If you do, you will die, and the LORD will be angry with the whole community of Israel. However, the rest of the Israelites, your relatives, may mourn for Nadab and Abihu, whom the LORD has destroyed by fire.

Lev 10:7 But you are not to leave the entrance of the Tabernacle,[2] under penalty of death, for the anointing oil of the LORD is upon you." So they did as Moses commanded.
Pretty amazing, if you think on it. They were not allowed to act as the normal world acts because the anointing of God was upon them. They could not do the most natural thing, mourn for someone who had died.

Think on it for awhile. Just how different does a person have to be to be anointed in the service of God. I would say that we should not go the common way of mankind.
