Genesis 9:4 “But you must not eat meat that has its lifeblood still in it.
The daily devo that I read each morning featured Psalm 118:24 this morning: “This is the day that the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.” This is a verse that has been on my mind and my heart quite a lot lately as it is one that I sometimes have a hard time embracing.
Genesis 9:5 And for your lifeblood I will surely demand an accounting. I will demand an accounting from every animal. And from each human being, too, I will demand an accounting for the life of another human being.
I think outwardly, I’m rather an optimist, typically looking on the bright side. But at my core, unfortunately, I have found that there is a lugubrious Eeyore at the gate, who is always a little down, a little negative. I don’t like that side of myself. I would much rather rejoice in this day that the Lord has made.
Genesis 9:6 “Whoever sheds human blood, by humans shall their blood be shed; for in the image of God has God made mankind.
Precious Savior, I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Thank You. Help me to either make peace with my inner Eeyore or to root out that side of myself so that I can rejoice in each day that You have made. Help me, Jesus. Amen.
Genesis 9:7 As for you, be fruitful and increase in number; multiply on the earth and increase upon it.”
Have a blessed day.
