Falling into sin is exactly that, a fall into a trap and ensnares us into behaving sinfully. But these falls can be prevented. Genesis 9 and Joshua 9 both tell stories of sinful traps set by the same lineage and how God's people foolishly allowed themselves to fall into sin by letting their guard down and not seeking wisdom in how to navigate their steps.

We all make mistakes, so how is it we can still honor someone who has let us down or messed up? The answer is we honor the person, not their choices. Genesis 9 shares a story of a father who made a poor choice, and how his children responded. One dishonors him and the other two honor. So too, we have the choice to honor or dishonor others when we see their failings and then respond. In the end, we either allow God's covering over that person's failure or hold it back in unforgiveness.

What captures and holds your attention mostly each day? Is it the things that are manmade or those that our Creator put on this earth to reflect His glory? Genesis 9 reminds us that something we may take for granted after a rainstorm, the rainbow, was placed with a purpose and Ezekiel 1 further explains how this bow of colorful light reflects God's radiance and beckons us to fall on our knees in awe of the God of creation.
