Just think:
Israel had livestock. Their painful history was written on cured animal skins. They made tents of animal skins. So what made up the soles of their shoes, most likely?
It wasn't a pleasant history.
I just thank Heaven we have life in Jesus, who's guidance is so much easier than the learning-the-hard-way in Israel's long journey.
...
More to think through:
• Jesus, living in the Spirit now, no longer hungers or thirsts. God is not hungry. Yet, He cares to feed us abundantly and has made the way through both the sacrificial love and sword of God's word.
• God gave mankind the cattle on a thousand hills. But He did not give anyone a thousand wives. (Even Solomon repented.) And He didn't give permission to molest or abuse anyone's body. In fact, the love of Jesus specifically tells the church to cleanse as with the washing of water through Heaven's word!
• I always thank Heaven for saving our souls, for valuing our souls moreso than all of creation.
And I thank God for giving us cattle on a thousand hills. ... But going to the grocery store shouldn't feel like mockery of that. There shouldn't be so much meat at any given store that it feels like a slaughter house. ...
"Know this first of all, that in the last days mockers will come
with their mocking, following after their own lusts ... ." (2 Peter 3:3)
When there's a day like that, thank God for fish!
