Noah and the Flood

Genesis 6: & 7
Noah walked with God. This is the value of one righteous man. When we say what can I do, or what can one person do, we see the answer to that question in the life of Noah. One man saved the whole earth, saved all living things from being wiped out in a flood. One righteous man can change the world.

Noah did all that the Lord commanded him.

Would that we all were righteous in our generation, would that we all walked with God, would that we all did everything the Lord commands.

I heard someone talking about doing what the Lord commanded, and that if we as Christians did everything the Lord said, we would be so obvious, and so irresistible to those around us, that anyone we met would want to know about this relationship we had.

When Noah built the ark he was pretty obvious, everyone could see what he was doing, and he certainly was different; no one else had an ark in their yard. We read today that he did all that the Lord commanded him, we also read that he did ONLY what the Lord commanded him, he didn't add to it his own ideas.

Noah walked with God.

Noah knew the Lord & he heard the Lord; he was in the Lord's presence.

…and the Lord shut them in. When the whole of the earth and every living thing seems corrupt around us, the Lord is faithful. He cares for us and he shuts us in safe haven. Today I pray that I walk with God, that I walk in His presence, that I might hear and obey God's word.

See you tomorrow.
