Good Morning!
STANDING ALONE FOR GOD in a godless world: A tough but achievable
assignment.
Noah, like you, lived in a wicked society.
Victoriously!
And so can you!
God's assessment of Noah's life?
"You alone I have seen to be righteous before Me in this generation." (Genesis
7:1)
The Lord was painfully aware of societies' blatant sins as
SEX and VIOLENCE dotted the landscape+...as it does
ours.
"Then the Lord saw that the WICKEDNESS OF MAN WAS
GREAT ON THE EARTH, AND THAT EVERY INTENT OF THE THOUGHTS OF HIS
HEART WAS ONLY EVIL ...CONTINUALLY...[God] was grieved
in his heart...that He had made man..." (Genesis 6:5,6)
Living amidst this decadence, Noah stood up and was counted:
"Noah found favor in the eyes of God"
- That is, he was PLEASING to God!
(Genesis 6:8)
"Noah was a righteous man"
- That is, he was LAWFUL AND JUST before
God! (Genesis 6:9)
"Noah was blameless in his time"
- That is, he lived a LIFE OF INTEGRITY
before
his fellow man. (Genesis 6:9)
"Noah walked with God" - That
is, he and God were CONVERSANT. They
had a relationship. (Genesis 6:9)
STANDING ALONE FOR GOD is a tough but achievable assignment
which God expects us to accomplish!
My prayer is that you are having a great week!
