God's promise to me

The biblical meaning of a rainbow is the sign God gave Moses that He would never destroy the world by flood again. Found in Genesis 9. Today as I was seating in my living room I saw this rainbow which I kind of took as God's promise to me about my own story.

Sabbath lesson for me

Today I attended Berean SDA church. Pastor John Boston spoke and shared the following story from his childhood.

Pastor Boston was around 10 years old and was being disobedient in Sabbath school and his father noticed and pulled him out of the class. He knew he was about to be physically disciplined by his dad. He thought of all the things he could say to get out of it. His father asked him to hold out his hand and then his father took off his belt. He knelt down before him, and his father started hitting himself on his knee and he asked Pastor Boston to cry. Mercy prevailed his father told him to act as though he was physically disciplined.

Pastor Boston brought his story full circle in that, that is what Jesus has done that for me and you. Christ Jesus died for me. But even more deeper than what Pastor Boston's father taught him that day, Jesus took the punishment I deserve for my disobedience/sin in well advance.

Father, help me think of of the sacrifice your son made on my behalf each time I am tempted stray from your will for my life.
