Today's scripture reading talked about 3 different kind of offerings. Not really sure when people should offer those offerings though. All I know is that burnt offering is likely all burnt up into smoke... or dust. Basically given all up to God. And it's restricted to male animals only. Grain offerings are probably something similar... except it's vegetarian. Possibly devised for farmers who don't have animals or enough animals to give? What's interesting is that God still want people to add oil and salt onto it. And the 3rd fellowship or peace offering is something similar to burnt offering except people can use either male of female animals. Not only that, the offerings can be BBQed as food for people to eat! It's just that we can't eat blood or the fat! Fat is reserved for God.
Hmm... it's interesting that God likes fatty and salty food too. No wonder humans also like to eat fatty and salty food... like Father like son I guess! ;) Except too much fatty and salty food is bad for us! This is probably why God said we shouldn't have them... not because God wants to be stingy and keep it all for Himself, but they're really not that good for us!
Anyway, apparently God offered us a fellowship/peace offering too. Jesus Christ was the lamb offered up for us... and God invited us to eat that lamb up! Hmm... our Lord sure is tasty! ;) Well, the only fat I have to offer in return is stored in my belly. May my exercise routine be sufficient to burn it up for God! ;)
Speaking of fat/oil..., gas prices is really getting ridiculously high. There is a possible price manipulation going on, hope the investigation can quickly stabilize things and not let it get out of control as the dot com crisis, electricity crisis... and the mortgage crisis...
I think starting from today, I'm going to keep monitoring these things and see how they move up/down over time... ;)
