Devotional for today - Lingering Damage
Read: 2 Samuel 12:1-14
A young teen who was constantly getting into trouble always apologized when his parents confronted him. No matter how much he hurt his parents with his previous wrongdoing, he would soon turn around and do something else wrong - knowing he would be forgiven.
Finally, his dad took him out to the garage for a talk. Dad picked up a hammer and pounded a nail into the garage wall. Then he gave his son the hammer and told him to pull out the nail. The boy shrugged, grabbed the hammer, and yanked out the nail.
"That's like forgiveness, Son. When you do something wrong, it's like pounding in a nail. Forgiveness is when you pull the nail out." "Okay, I get it," said the boy. "Now take the hammer and pull out the nail hole," his dad replied. "That's impossible!" the boy said, "I can't pull it out."
As this story illustrates and King David's life proves, sin carries consequences. Even though David was forgiven, his adultery and murder left scars and led to family problems (2 Sam. 12:10). This sobering truth can serve as a warning for our lives. The best way to avoid the lingering damage of sin is to live a life of obedience to God. -Dave Branon

On another note: I awoke this morning with an idea for a color combination and headed into my craft room to check it out. Well, my left "little piggy who got none" headed in a different direction right into the leg of a chair. Little piggy has taken on a shade of Not Quite Navy and is sending shock *!@?;o( waves to my brain. I had plans to run errands today and vote early, but I think I will be sitting at my desk stamping away instead. It is another lovely autumn day and I can enjoy the sunshine and breezes from the window. Oh, and the color combination didn't work for what I wanted to make-but I have another combination that will work and ironically it involves Not Quite Navy!
