bored with the old testament
To be honest I was at first bored with the old testament and all the do's and don'ts. So bored that I have been off track for the last few weeks. But the more I stick with it the more I am thankful the work of the cross on my behalf. I am so grateful for the plan of God to become a man that became sin for me and then put to death that sin and now I can be the righteousness of God and I can approach Him freely and as frequently as I like, not because I always have the blood of some animal as an offering but because by faith HIs blood has washed my heart. There are all these different offerings the old testament talks about. I am glad that God doesn't want some material offering of mine but He wants my heart, he wants my soul, even my mind with the millions of thoughts that I have, not only does He want all of me but He knows me better than I know myself and still wants me. And because He has all of me He gets my materials, whatever is in my possession belongs to Him and He can do with it what He wants. I think that back then these animals that they were sacrificing and giving for offerings were their income, food or whatever. They meant something to them and it wasn't like just going to the forest and killing an animal or was it?!?! I mean why would God ask for something that didn't mean anything to Aaron and Moses and them?!?!?
