Give thanks for bringing these forward Black Christ Salvation, and truly a blessing to see the I's Reasonings appearing here again.
I just returned from Sabbath service in London, and I'm feeling like sharing a story from I life that led I to real-eyes the full importance of the Sabbath.
In December last year I was holding the Sabbath at home, because I felt it was necessary, even though circumstances mean I can't always hold it fully every week. Towards the end of Sabbath, I let I Iditation stray from the Most High and keeping the day holy and trod out to the shop to buy a couple of little things for the house like soap and toilet paper. As I was getting off the bus with the things to walk home though, I ankle turned over and it fractured, putting I into the hospital and off I feet for 5 weeks with a plaster cast. As I was struggling home from the hospital on crutches with the fresh plaster (without even the things I went out for in the first place, because they got forgotten at the A&E ward) it occurred to I that because I had committed in Iself before the Most High to hold the Sabbath that day, I couldn't be surprised I'd done Iself an injury when I broke it. Although anguish and strife within Iself was heavy during those 5 weeks of inactivity, it rose I up stronger in the end by enforcing time in which I had the choice between pure Righteousness and pure wickedness, and was tested. I won't deny that I didn't even pass every test, but even in I failings, the Right path was revealed to I, if only in the danger I put Iself in through wrong choices when I had nowhere to run from Iself. Now I feet stick as close as I can manage to the Right roads, and I could never turn back or stray deliberately. If I do, I pray the Most High purifies I with fire and washes I with water until such folly is gone from I.
One of the priests at service on this last Sabbath made a valid point in His sermon that by the laws of the old testament, breaking the Sabbath (keeping of which is a commandment) could get one stoned to death, and that even Haile Selassie I would arrest Sabbath breakers in Ethiopia at times. That law is there for One and all to read in volume 1 of My Life and Ethiopia's Progress.
Blessed heart of love to each and every One.
