Scales and Fins

"These you may eat, of all that are in the waters. Everything in the waters that has fins and scales, whether in the seas or in the rivers, you may eat. But anything in the seas or the rivers that does not have fins and scales, of the swarming creatures in the waters and of the living creatures that are in the waters, is detestable to you.”
-Leviticus 11:9-10 (ESV)

Some of the laws may make no sense to us today. Scales and fins only? Well that rules out a lot of sea creatures. But you have to remember that they didn’t have the technology yet to determine that some of the animals were poisonous and just plain dangerous for us to eat. We are fortunate today that we can extract the dangerous elements from our food so that we eat the rest of it.

God looks out for His own- we don’t have to understand what He tells us. We just have to trust that He knows what is best and abide by what He tells us. You never know what kind of poison is lurking out there that we can’t detect... 👀
