Leviticus 11:9 NLT
“Of all the marine animals, these are ones you may use for food. You may eat anything from the water if it has both fins and scales, whether taken from salt water or from streams.”
Trust the Lord’s instruction
Not all vehicles run on regular unleaded gasoline. Some cars are designed to run on premium gasoline. If the car owners want to ensure the durability of their vehicle, they always avoid running it on anything other than the recommended fuel. This is because the owners believe that the manufacturer knows what they are talking about and the instructions are not for their own selfish agenda.
Interestingly, people often resist the Lord’s instructions. However, we fail to remember that God created us (Psalm 100:3) and that He knows everything everywhere because nothing came into existence without His full knowledge. Regarding the ocean depths, scientists are still discovering what lies in there. However, God knows the volume of each ocean and all that dwells in them.
In today’s referenced Scripture, the Lord instructed the people of Israel to eat marine animals as long as they have scales and fins. The question is: why can’t all marine animals be suitable for food? Perhaps He wanted them to trust Him that He always looks for their best interests.
So, how is this scripture relevant to you and me? If we trust God and believe that His instructions are for our betterment in all aspects of life, we will never resist any of them. Instead, we will gladly comply with them whether we are being watched or not.
Prayer
Dear Heavenly Father, please help me always to understand that following Your instruction in all areas of my life is for my good. In Jesus’s name. Amen.
