Floods of Grace

I had a chance to read through the story of Noah, and just like before, it doesn't matter how many times I read this story something new always hits me like a ton of bricks. Here's my brief summary of Noah and the Ark:

God became disappointed in man. God found favor in Noah. God told Noah to build an Ark and collect two of every animal. Noah obeyed God. The floods came. The floods left. The Ark settled on dry land. Noah offered praise to God. God was pleased, blessed Noah, and made this promise:

"I have set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be a sign of the covenant between me and the earth. When I bring clouds over the earth and the bow is seen in the clouds, I will remember my covenant that is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh. And the waters shall never again become a flood to destroy all flesh. When the bow is in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth." —Genesis 9:13-16 ESV

As I read this the other day all I could think about was Jesus. I always find it fascinating to see allusions to Jesus in the Old Testament, an added support to the fact that God had a plan of redemption from the very beginning. For the true believers in Christ, God looks upon us and sees His son Jesus. He are covered in the blood of Christ. Just as God sees the rainbow and is reminded of the covenant He made with Noah and all living things, He looks on us and sees Jesus and that we are redeemed through that relationship. When we mess up and give into our sinful natures, God doesn't seek to destroy us but shows us grace. It's a beautiful thing.

Mercy

Today I started a new chronological Bible reading plan, so obviously I started in Genesis. It seems over the course of my life I've probably read this book a dozen times and heard many sermons and talks on it as well. But it never seems to amaze me that something new and very relevant pops out at me.

At the end of the third chapter God is about to banish Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden after their disobedience(sin). However, I found it interesting what he does just before that.

"And the Lord God made for Adam and for his wife garments of skins and clothed them." Genesis 3:21 ESV

I think it is so cool that God in the midst of our sin and consequences takes the take to provide for our need. He is mercy and He is faithful.

*One struggle I have in my personal bible study time is knowing what to read. Sometime you have to get yourself on a plan. I hate scheduling things but you do what you have to do. Anyway if you need a good resource for reading guides or plans, check out this website. It's definitely one of the best resources I've come across lately and if you're really tech-savvy they have apps for your phone. When it's this easy you can't have any excuse when it come to studying your Bible.

Hey guys. Here is the second installment of New Music Wednesday. Although not all of this music is new, some of them are hymns, it is FREE! Megan(my lovely wife) and I are broke church planter and didn't have much money for Christmas presents this year so we decided to record a few hymns and a couple of original songs for our family and dear friends.

We hope you enjoy this and please share it with your friends!
