I know firsthand that if we allow ourselves to be receptive to Him, He will certainly guide us.</p>
<p>I have a question about the pre-flood vegetarian diet. I wondered why Cain brought fat portions from his flock if they did not eat meat. (Genesis 4:1-5) </p>

I have felt God calling me- I was called to serve from an early age and as an adult- a lady mentored me at a Methodist church and I assisted in bible study and lay speaking, I was called to start a life group in our home, it was after my mom died, and that group filled my heart and soul so much. I thoroughly enjoyed it. The Lord called me to reconciliation years ago with my extended family. So, list goes on and on-I have no regrets- been blessed with each step of the way. </p>Ramona commented on 'January 4th One Year Bible Readings'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c5ebf53ef022ad385ab48200c2019-01-04T01:09:45Z2019-01-04T01:09:45ZRamonaGenesis 8:10-32 Mike – In your comments regarding Noah, the dove and the olive branch, I, for the first time...<p>Genesis 8:10-32</p>
<p>Mike – In your comments regarding Noah, the dove and the olive branch, I, for the first time see an example for us in how to walk by faith and not by sight. I believe that in every part of the Bible, Old and New Testament redemption, salvation, righteous living and holiness that point to the Messiah and His Work on the cross, can be seen. It just takes time and persistence to see it or have it revealed.</p>
<p>When Noah, sending out the raven that flew back and forth until the earth was dry and then sending out the dove, did this, he set an example of how to walk by faith. The text shows us that even thought there was a window on the Ark his eye sight was blocked. He knew that the earth was out there but he was not able to use his five senses to determine the condition of the ground. We are told by the apostle Paul not to walk in or after the flesh especially in his letter to the Romans. Moses relied on two birds that feed on and live amongst two entirely different food sources.</p>
<p>The raven is a carrion, it feeds on dead things, dead flesh. The dove, which is also a symbol of the Holy Spirit, does not hang around death. Paul states:</p>
<p>There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.<br />
(Romans 8:1 KJV)</p>
<p>The olive branch represents the anointing, the Anointed One. The raven flew back and forth feeding on flesh, the dead things of this world. Moreover, there would have been a lot of “flesh” floating on the water and the raven had a field day. But the dove can’t hang out with the dead, she/he needed the “Annointed One,” the Olive Branch, in order to live upon the earth, so too those called by His Name.</p>
<p>Please note the above may just be the product of a very fertile imagination.</p>
<p>(For we walk by faith, not by sight:)<br />
(2 Corinthians 5:7 KJV)</p>
<p>Grace and peace,<br />
