Wednesday night we had the most spectacular sunset. Because it was getting dark and I didn't want the flash ruining my sunset, I put the camera in night mode. I tend to shake, so I rested my phone on the hood of my car to take this picture. it turned out better than I could imagine. I was worried that the hood of my car would ruin the picture, but instead it reflected the sunset looking like a lake instead of the hood of my car.

Goodnight and God bless

I was reading Leviticus 1 tonight. It describes the burnt offerings given at the Tabernacle. It talks of killing the animals, skinning them, draining the blood and pouring it on and around the altar. It talks about burning the entrails and dumping the craw and feathers of birds to the east of the altar. As I was reading this, I was thinking about how it must start to stink after a day of baking in the sun and much worse if they stay in the same location for a while. Then I noticed, at the end of the description of the burnt offering for each type of animal, it says, “an offering by fire as a soothing aroma to the Lord.” That does not sound like a “soothing aroma.” That isn’t how I would describe it, but God sees things differently than we do. We see the outside and the physical. God sees the heart of sacrifice of those who love, obey, and trust Him. I think it is really the sacrificial heart that is the real “soothing aroma.” #biblestr #Bible #Jesus #grownostr
