Leviticus 3:14
From what you offer you are to present this food offering to the Lord: the internal organs and all the fat that is connected to them,
Shalom sdr, my devotion today, Sun, Jan. 10, FAT (Lev. 3:14). God knew so well that the internal organs and the fat of the animals were so bad for the health of the people. Especially, if some people ate them raw. We know that some of The Israelites liked to eat raw meat. When the quails flew low, they grabbed and ate them. Perhaps, some of them already tasted the internal organs and the fat. Therefore, God deliberately commanded them to burn the fat and the internal organs on the altar.
a. God protected their health.
God wanted The Israelites to be healthy always. God didn’t want them to be sick. He knew that those could be eaten. Therefore, he asked them to be burned. Not because God was cruel, askingbthe thing that they liked. But, simply, he just wanted them to be healthy.
b. God trained their heart.
God wanted them to always obey and realize that the best part of the animal was belong to God. Giving and coming to God always have to be the best. God doesn’t like the worst part, the remnant or the left over parts. God wants the best.
c. God prevented their habit.
God didn’t want them to build a bad habit, eating internal organs and fat. God stopped them to improve learning to cook and make internal organs and fat cuisines. Therefore, in everything, God has a purpose. The purpose for our good and benefit. ASH.
