Leviticus 17 - Day 144 (link to reading plan)
Scripture: Leviticus 17: 3-7 Commentary: ...To put it another way, these stringent regulations regarding blood sought to eliminate any superstitious practices with blood from arising in Israel, e.g., the practice of eating or drinking the blood of an offering in order that one might ingest either spiritual powers or divine life. Hartley, J. E. (1992). Leviticus (Vol. 4, p. 278). Dallas: Word, Incorporated. Application: Rabbit's foot, Ti leaves, and Japanese lucky cats are some items used by people for "luck." God's prohibition against eating blood was to eliminate the superstitious practices of their pagan neighbors. As followers of Christ, instead of 'luck,' we just need to be on God's side for His favor to be upon us. Prayer: Lord, You have blessed me more than I deserve. Comments are closed.
