26Then the LORD said to Moses, 27“When an ox, a sheep, or a goat is born, it must remain with its mother for seven days. From the eighth day on, it will be acceptable as an offering made by fire to the LORD. 28But you must not slaughter an ox or a sheep on the same day as its young.
29When you sacrifice a thank offering to the LORD, offer it so that it may be acceptable on your behalf. 30It must be eaten that same day. Do not leave any of it until morning. I am the LORD.
31You are to keep My commandments and practice them. I am the LORD. 32You must not profane My holy name. I must be acknowledged as holy among the Israelites. I am the LORD who sanctifies you, 33who brought you out of the land of Egypt to be your God. I am the LORD.”
I am the Lord, is repeatedly mentioned in these verses.
But why a thank offering?
1 Thessalonians 5: 18Give thanks in every circumstance, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.
We don’t thank Him for evil but:
James 1:12
12 Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive vthe crown of life, wwhich God has promised to those who love him.
The Lord uses our trials, the evil we have endured to strengthen us for His purposes.
Read about Job or Paul (Saul) in the Bible and their trials they went through and how the Lord used their trials for His kingdom.
Remember, no matter what you are going through, He loves you!
Do you believe that?
Blessings, David
