And Asa cried to the Lord his God, โO Lord, there is none like you to help, between the mighty and the weak. Help us, O Lord our God, for we rely on you, and in your name we have come against this multitude. O Lord, you are our God; let not man prevail against you.โ 2 Chronicles 14:11 ESV ~ Sunday Blessings, grace and peace friend.
"True intimacy with God always brings humility." โ Beth Moore
Cats hold a unique and revered position in Egyptian history and culture, stemming from a complex interplay of practical benefits, religious symbolism, and deeply held beliefs. They were not merely pets, but were seen as magical creatures, capable of bringing good luck and divine favor. This stemmed from their ability to control pests like rodents and snakes, protecting vital grain stores and homes. More profoundly, cats became associated with powerful deities, most notably Bastet, the cat-headed goddess of fertility, domesticity, and protection, elevating their status to near-divine beings. This veneration translated into laws protecting cats, elaborate mummification rituals after death, and a pervasive cultural presence that continues to resonate today, even if the explicit worship is no longer practiced.
