Exodus 21:34 The owner of the pit shall make it good, and give money unto the owner of them; and the dead beast shall be his.
Praise the Lord!!
Today we will meditate upon another scripture which deals with dead beast. This scripture deals with lots of spiritual issues which are faced by people. Lots of people are carrying the dead beast upon their shoulders and wonder what is wrong with them. Dead beast means past hurt, humiliation, bitterness, offense.
In this world we face lots of people who are not always nice to us. Some render evil for good. Many face issues like betrayal and offense from their own families.
But they carry these dead beast around and refuse to be healed. Today we meet two types of people in this scripture.
1. One who own the dead beast.
These people who own a beast are people who didn't do anything wrong but has been hurt by people who are close to them. Sometimes your friends, families, well wishers will go against you and say things behind your back. If you keep carrying that hurt all the life. Bible says you are carrying a dead beast. You need to move on. Other day I was reading about 2 Timothy 3:1-5. You meet all sorts of people mentioned in that scripture, I have met a lots of them but if you carry that burden all along. You can never progress ahead.
Matthew 11:28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
Come unto Jesus as He is the answer to those who are burdened with hurt. Surrender your life and give him space to heal you. You don't need to pray long prayers. He knows your heart. He was betrayed, tempted, humiliated, insulted, spitted upon, put up on the cross. But still he did not take the burden but forgave them and moved on.
2. One who owns the pit and carries the beast.
These type of people are what Bible says are narcissistic people who dig pit for people and expects other to fall into them. Such people are narcissistic in nature they can never be happy in finding other successful. Bible talks again in 2 Timothy 3:1-5 about these people who bring hurt, humiliation and insult people and feed upon their humiliation. It gives them pleasure for insulting them..Yes we find different types of people who would take pleasure in hurting other people. But sometimes when the tables are turned or in the beginning of their life they carry or the Bible says they own the dead beast. Wherever they go they carry that dead beast along. That resentful nature, hurt, complaining attitude and spoil the environment by their constant complaint. Bible says you need to be joyful in the Lord.
James 1:2 My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations;. Another scripture says rejoice again I say rejoice.
Be joyful in heart spread the good news then you will find the world a beautiful place to live.
God bless
