Will you become a person like Noah for your generation?
Beloved children of God, I salute the ones reading “Daily Word for Spiritual Edification”. Today I want to share a lesson from Noah’s life.
Let’s focus on God’s Word.
„And the Lord was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart. So the Lord said: “I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth, both man and beast, creeping thing and birds of the air, for I am sorry that I have made them.” But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord.” (Genesis 6:6-8).
The word I would like us to ponder upon is very simple: But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord. What special thing had Noah done that he had gained this grace and favor in the eyes of the Lord? What character traits had Noah shown at the time when God was getting ready to destroy the whole world and everything He had created? What traits is God looking for in a human being, in a leader, so that the will of God would be fulfilled on the earth and so that His creation would be preserved? Only Noah and his family were kept alive after the great flood had come upon the earth. It was through Noah that life on the earth was maintained and continued after the flood. What character traits is God looking for in people so that they could be used by Him just like He used Noah? I would like you to notice three things in the life of Noah that the Scripture talks about.„This is the genealogy of Noah. Noah was a just man, perfect in his generations. Noah walked with God.” (Genesis 6:9)
- Noah was a just man. 2. Noah was a just and perfect man in his kin and his generation. 3. Noah walked with God. When God finds a man like that, He establishes His covenant with him.
