Huh?

S ~ You must not muzzle an ox to keep it from eating as it treads out the grain. Deuteronomy 25:4

O ~ Interesting in all the regulations in the Old Testament, this little beauty shows up seemingly out of place. And of all the scriptures that refer to ‘pay the preacher’, this is one that tops the charts.

A ~ So many times I read verses in the Old Testament - specifically in Exodus - Deuteronomy, and think ‘How in the world can this ever apply to my life?  - how to seed my field, or who should be stoned for a seemingly little offense, or many other things that appear to just be superstitious. The God of the Old Testament is still the God of the New Testament - and He says He does not change. So the perfect view we have of Jesus (the clearest understanding of God revealed), is how I must look through to see God in the Old Testament. 

P ~ Lord, just as this little line about letting the ox eat while he works has application for today, please open other scriptures to me which are currently hidden, that I might understand how to apply them to 2020.
