'''Osprey'''
'''Osprey'''


The Hebrew word for 'osprey' has the word 'goat' within it.  The goat just thinks of himself. He grabs food, cuts in line, pushes and shoves to get his way. The goat, representing the selfish flesh, is not of the spirit, and so should be avoided.

Sometimes we act like goats and sometimes like sheep who wish to follow the Good Shepherd; Jesus. Even the apostle Paul wrestled with his flesh. <ref>{{bgw| Ro 7:15 }} For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I.</ref> Don't feed the goat. Don't do the things you know are wrong.

Here is a tough question:  Why is the goat a clean animal, but the osprey is an unclean bird?  Remember that the flying things teach about spiritual things, and the goat represents the teacher who ruminates or meditates on the Word of God and it produces a split hoof or a separated and holy walk.  In our spirit we don't want to go back to behaving like we do in the flesh. In the flesh we strive to be holy.
