Leviticus 11:14 NLT
“the kite, falcons of all kinds,”
Not everything is meant for food
As followers of Christ, we are entrusted with the responsibility of deeply trusting Him, not just on the surface level. However, the question is, to what extent do we trust Him? Do we truly trust Him when He doesn’t provide us with all the necessary details? Or do we only trust Him when we have complete information?
Today’s scripture allows us to test our faith and examine whether we trust God when we have little information about His assigned task. It is essential to note that God didn’t explain why kites and falcons were unsuitable for consumption by the people of Israel. But, in hindsight, it is clear that kites rummage through garbage, making them unsanitary, while falcons exhibit cruel behaviour as they devour other animals to obtain their food. Consuming either of these birds can lead to life-threatening diseases or make us a part of the vicious food chain. Friends, God does not need to go into details of any instruction before we can see why it is essential to comply.
Therefore, we can trust that God’s instructions are for our own good, even when we don’t fully understand the reasoning behind them. It is essential to have faith that God’s plans for us are always in our best interest and that we must trust Him completely, even when we don’t have all the answers.
Prayer
Dear Heavenly Father, please help me appreciate that You care for me and all Your instructions are for my benefit. In Jesus’s name. Amen.
