God's everlasting covenant .

When in January 13 2001 a powerful earthquake destroy my parents house and everything that  they had worked for their  entire lives was gone in minutes . I realized that I need to do something , So I decided to immigrate to the US . I risked  my life crossing illegally  the mexican border and then the US border and walking in the desert for three days knowing that many people dont make it .  For the first time in my life I was away from my family and for the first time I was afraid . I remember praying silently  for God to bless me and that I would serve him all my life . Unfortunately , I forgot about God  but he never forgot about me . In the same way , the nation of Israel , Adam , Noah and every human being has failed to fulfill the requirement of the covenant but Jesus coming to die for us , Has taken our place . As Ellen White says " He was treated as we deserved so that we might be treated as he deserves "  In ancient near stern culture , the covenants were  made by the cutting of animals and pronouncing the stipulations , promises , blessings and curses  but even though  we failed our part , Jesus redeemed us by fulfilling our part !! Isaiah says  talking about Mesiah  Surely he took up our pain 
   and bore our suffering, 
yet we considered him punished by God, 
   stricken by him, and afflicted. 
5 But he was pierced for our transgressions, 
   he was crushed for our iniquities; 
the punishment that brought us peace was on him, 
   and by his wounds we are healed. 
6 We all, like sheep, have gone astray,  
   each of us has turned to our own way; 
and the LORD has laid on him 
   the iniquity of us all. 
All I can say is what a savior !

How to know God's will for your life .

Henry Blackaby in his book  " Men of integrity says "The first funeral I ever conducted was for a beautiful three-year-old. She was the first child born to a couple in our church, and the first grandchild in their extended family. Unfortunately, she was spoiled. While visiting the little girl's home one day, I observed that she loved to ignore her parents' instructions. When they told her to come, she went. When they said "sit down," she stood up. Her parents laughed, finding her behavior cute.
One day their front gate was inadvertently left open. The parents saw their child escaping out of the yard and heading toward the road. To their horror, a car was racing down the street. As she ran out between two parked cars, they both screamed at her to stop and turn back. She paused for a second, looked back at her parents, then gleefully laughed as she turned and ran directly into the path of the oncoming car.
The parents rushed their little girl to the hospital, but she died from her injuries. As a young pastor, this was a profound lesson for me. I realized I must teach God's people not only to recognize His voice but also immediately to obey His voice when they hear it. It is life." Many people ask , How can I know God's will for my life ? but when they find it in the word of God they refuse to obey . The apostle Paul in his letter to Hebrews says " if you hear his voice do not harden your heart " I pray that we recognize God's voice but not only that but also obey his voice .
