"BY FAITH NOAH ... PREPARED AN ARK." He obeyed God and by his obedience he saved his house. Noah was born six hundred years before the global Flood at a time when "... the wickedness of man was great ... and ... every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually." But Noah did not follow the crowd: he was a man of faith and he walked with God. Time came when the Lord decided to "... bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh wherein is the breath of life." But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord. By faith, being warned of God of the impending destruction and judgment by water, he prepared an ark to the saving of his house by which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith. Noah could be depended upon: he was a man of faith, and God used him to save his family of eight souls. Today's society is no different from Noah's: the whole earth is filled with violence and corruption. A second and final judgment is about to descend on the earth. God looks for men of faith, such as Noah, to walk with Him. Beloved, are you walking with God? following the Lord Jesus? He only can deliver you from the judgment to come.
For Meditation:
I walk with God, He's Lord of all,
My dearest Friend is He;
On Him I lean, I cannot fall;
I'm His eternally.
