Theme: SHEEP
Deuteronomy 15:19
“All the firstborn males that come from your herd and your flock you shall sanctify to the Lord your God; you shall do no work with the firstborn of your herd, nor shear the firstborn of your flock.
INSIGHT
-It was law that all first born animals were to be sanctified to the Lord. Sheep was not to be sheered before sanctification. Sheep was more valuable than land in Israel.
-In Deut 18:4, The firstfruits of your grain and your new wine and your oil, and the first of the wool of your sheep, was given to the priests as offering.
-In Exodus 11:5, all the firstborn in the land of Egypt man & animals shall die in the 10th plague(10th month/passover).
-Passover was commemorated in Nisan/10th month where male first borns were offered to serve in the temple among Levites, first fruit & first born animals offered as well.
PRAYER
Abba Father, You have reminded us to preserve the first of everything to You. Guide us to give our offering as You please. Sanctify our land, lineage & bodies with Your blood so that we may be spotless in Your eyes. Amen
Blessed Tuesday.
