Just witnessed something so real.
I was wondering what the bible was trying to illustrate about dangerous dogs and silly or dirty pigs. Urban dweller like me mostly see domestic dogs and most of the time they are tame, trained and tidied. I don't quite get this verse.
“Do not give dogs what is sacred; do not throw your pearls to pigs. If you do, they may trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces. (Matthew 7:6 NIV)
Why can't we give dogs what is sacred? They cannot appreciate it and will destroy it? Or mock it?
From BSF notes:
The dogs and pigs mentioned in the passage were not cute pets or tame farmyard animals. They were often wild and vicious. Both were hungry scavengers, known to even eat the dead.
Read it on the bus on the way there and was trying to digest it. Wow, never thought I'll witness it real life real time at Ubin. Thank goodness I was spared the actual fighting and the scramble. When we walked past, the baby boar was already dead...
Upon reaching the Chek Jawa path, we parked our bicycles to walk to the boardwalk. Admired the wild boards and the baby boars for a while before moving off. After we completed the loop on the way back, we saw this dog tearing away the flesh and devouring a baby boar!!
OMG! Really stunned all of us. A life is just taken away like that. But that is life and that is the real wildlife and that is how the world goes round.
It also made me realise how vicious, hungry and merciless the wild dog can be. 😱
They can turn around and hurt you.
Thank God for His protection during our trip to Ubin. We even helped to apply
bandage onto another lady who slipped and fell and bruised her forehead. Our blessings overflowing to bless others!
We were like wild dogs, but now we have been tamed to be obedient. Vicious and angry no more!
Blessed Good Friday!!
Selfie no. 3 (or was it 4)
Drenched but we were ok and happy still.
