Deuteronomy 23:14a For the Lord your God moves about in your camp to protect you and to deliver your enemies to you. (The Lord has just instructed His people when they are encamped against their enemies and preparing for battle about how to conduct the most basic and personal hygiene practices and how to deal with something as basic as disposing of body waste. The Lord cares about and gives specific directions and parameters about how the people are to keep themselves appropriately clean around even the most seemingly insignificant, irrelevant, and mundane sanitation elements of their lives, even down to those natural functions to which nature calls them and to which they have to pay attention. Nothing is too small for the Lord not to notice or care about. As we prepare for whatever battle is before us today, as we follow His commands and keep ourselves pure, He reminds us that He is present and actively moves about in the very center of our lives and in each specific situation. And no matter how seemingly insignificant or trivial the detail, we have to keep our lives, our very selves, pure and holy, and separated from any unclean thing or habit. He defends us, preserving us by snatching us away from the enemy. He gives up our enemies to us, causing them to yield to us. He rescues us and appoints us as charge over the enemy.)
