Promise (Dove)
Read
“Noah waited another seven days, and again he sent out the dove from the ark; and the dove came back to him in the evening, and there in its beak was a freshly plucked olive leaf; so Noah knew that the waters had subsided from the earth … ”- Genesis 8.10-12; 9.12-19
Think and Do
Today is day three of December and of our Advent countdown. Noah and his three sons went onto the ark as a way of God saving the good in the world from a flood.
Can you think of some things which come in threes? Are there any examples of this from the Bible you can think of? Ecclesiastes 4.12 is one Bible verse which reminds us that a cord of three strands is not easily broken. Consider promises you have made, kept or broken.
Pray
Dear God, thank you for your promise and for the sign of a dove we have to remember that promise. Help us to join with you in keeping the promise to make the world a good place to be. Amen.
