Leviticus 11-12, Mark 5:21-43, Psalm 38, Proverbs 10:8-9
Interesting way to start start off today, reading the text from the bible. How many of us actually follow Lev 11:7 And the pig, because it parts the hoof and is cloven-footed but does not chew the cud, is unclean to you. 8 You shall not eat any of their flesh, and you shall not touch their carcasses; they are unclean to you.
No, no, we are now in the new covenant and Peter was told to eat anything in the NT.
Be it so, but I believe there are wisdom in the words in Lev and moveover, Peter was told to eat anything because God want him to understand the separatism between the Gentiles and the so call "elite" Jews. Read the whole text to get a better understand.
Regardless, I am amazed at the wisdom of God through Lev. Do your own research on these animals and you will know the reasons God intended. What a God I served, that created all things and know all things.
Jesus and the woman with the issue of blood, in Mark 5:30 And Jesus, perceiving in himself that power had gone out from him, immediately turned about in the crowd and said, “Who touched my garments?”
Where is that desire of us, like that woman? Jesus knew. How much do I really then understand about myself - the sinful nature that hold us and refuse to let Jesus take them away. The material pocessions that we hold dearly, the pleasure that we enjoy and the lesiure that we desire - all leads to a no desire in God kingdom and His works, and yet and thus no desire to let go - if only I can touch Jesus.
I pray for myself. It keeps coming back and it must not be a battle lost. Jesus has triump. Let not be decive. I pray for that desire to seek Jesus and have the issues of of "sins" be dumped and forgiven. I am no good and I need Jesus, whom I have the cure.
