Worship: For Heaven’s Sake The sanctuary’s roof was made of four coverings that “represent the four phases of the life and work of Christ in the plan of salvation.” The outer covering was made of badgers’ skin, and beneath it was rams’ skins dyed red. Beneath the two was the covering of goat’s hair. All three have already been discussed. The fourth covering or innermost covering, was the royal covering of blue, purple and scarlet. It formed the ceiling and featured embroidered angels, visible only from within the sanctuary.
As elsewhere, the blue represented obedience to God’s eternal truth. The red or scarlet represented sacrifice. Together with the purple, which represented royalty, the covering was “fit for those who enter the companionship of ten thousand times ten thousand and thousands of thousands of angels symbolized by the gold embroidered cherubim. These royal colors are emblems, not only of the character of heavenly beings but they symbolize the qualities of truth and sacrifice, which shape the characters of all who become members of the family above. . . . This inner covering with its gold-embroidered angels also represents Christ in His exaltation. ‘Wherefore God also hath highly exalted Him, and given Him a name that is above every name; that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.’ Phil. 2:9,10.”

Wellness: For Health’s Sake Pastor Flemons, a doctor of biblical wellness, says that food plays a large part in the behavior of children. Frequently what is termed ADD or ADHD is really the body’s cry for a dietary and lifestyle change. The body is simply responding to the damage caused from eating the wrong foods all day long and at anytime of the night. The damage is exacerbated by poor lifestyle habits, like drinking with meals, drinking the wrong beverages, and not drinking enough water at the proper times. If your child shows signs of being “nervous, impatient of restraint, self-willed, and irritable, please read the statement Pastor Flemons read: “Teach Children When, How, and What to Eat,” written by Ellen G. White in her book Child Guidance (p. 388). Then embrace the REFRESHING Way lifestyle for yourself and teach it to your child.

Words of Encouragement
John 15:10, 11 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and abide in his love. These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.
John 14:21 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him. (Also read AA 85.1.)
For Health’s Sake…
Teach Children When, How, and What to Eat—Children are generally untaught in regard to the importance of when, how, and what they should eat. They are permitted to indulge their tastes freely, to eat at all hours, to help themselves to fruit when it tempts their eyes; and this, with the pie, cake, bread and butter, and sweetmeats eaten almost constantly, makes them gourmands and dyspeptics. The digestive organs, like a mill which is continually kept running, become enfeebled, vital force is called from the brain to aid the stomach in its overwork, and thus the mental powers are weakened. The unnatural stimulation and wear of the vital forces make them nervous, impatient of restraint, self-willed, and irritable. They can scarcely be trusted out of their parents’ sight. In many cases the moral powers seem deadened, and it is difficult to arouse them to a sense of the shame and grievous nature of sin; they slip easily into habits of prevarication, deceit, and often open lying. {CG 388.1}
Parents deplore these things in their children, but do not realize that it is their own bad management which has brought about the evil. They have not seen the necessity of restraining the appetites and passions of their children, and they have grown and strengthened with their years. Mothers prepare with their own hands and place before their children food which has a tendency to injure them physically and mentally.29 {CG 388.2}
