Great morning! How are we faithing this fine day? You know, my love of critters causes some perplexing thoughts sometimes. My compassion for these critters has roots in fundamental things from the Holy Scriptures. The Word tells us which animals were for labor and which are for food. It also tells us we have a huge responsibility with the dominion given us over them. When you gather all the scriptures regarding these animals God created it brings on an outlook towards grace before a meal of sincere thanksgiving and respect for the critter that died for our sustenance. We have a tendency to not give a hamburger a second thought but remember a life was given to support ours. Kinda makes grace and a thanksgiving heart much more important and sacrifice for someone else becomes much clearer. Gee, Jesus sacrificed so we could live too. Think about that...
Gen 9:3
Every moving thing that liveth shall be food for you; As the green herb have I given you all.
Pro 12:10
A righteous man regardeth the life of his beast; But the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel.
Gen 9:3
Every moving thing that liveth shall be food for you; As the green herb have I given you all.
Pro 12:10
A righteous man regardeth the life of his beast; But the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel.

Heavenly Father,
Thank you for your creation and help the sacrifices made for us be ever present in our hearts and minds. Lord we thank you for the blessings you bestow on us. We know we forget many many times but we do thank you for this wonderful creation and do ask for the courage and the wisdom to maintain our faith and this world in an honorable way. Teach us to be humble and not become complacent with the things in this world you have left in our charge. We lift the lost to you. Help us be beacons of light to draw them to you. In Jesus name, amen
