As I was out on my
morning jog and it was raining on me. I began to think
on the following
scriptures.
Realizing how our
present society has so much in common with the times
and folks back then. And like them, many of us are so callous and
unconcerned so
unaware of the times and the heartbreak of God?
Gen 6:5 And God saw that the evil of man was
great on the earth, and
every
imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil all the day
long.
:6 And Jehovah repented that He had made man on
the earth, and He was
grieved to His heart.
:7 And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I
have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing,
and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them.
:8 But Noah found grace in the eyes of
the LORD.
Gen
6:17 And, behold, I, even I, do bring a
flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh,
Gen 7:12 And the rain was on the earth forty days and
forty nights.
:22 All died in whose nostrils was the
breath of life, of all that was in the dry land.
:23 And every living thing which was on
the face of the earth was wiped
away, from man to cattle, and to the creeping
things, and the fowl of the
heavens.
They were wiped off from the earth, and only Noah was left,
and those who were with him in the ark.
Gen 8:1 And God remembered Noah..
REFLECTIONS: Anyone ever wondered as to why God chose to
take the life of all creation inclusive of man, beast and animals?
Man indeed
deserved the judgment of God.
But why the rest of creation which was created
for our benefit and blessing?
And innocent of
our sinful behavior. Perhaps God was saying or rather showing.
That the
consequences of our behavior and sins.
Are far more
costly than we can imagine? Sin cost more than we can comprehend, effects more
people than we know, and damages far beyond our recognition.
And takes or
demands more than we can afford.
But I NOTICE
something else here as well, even in the mist of an ungodly, wicked, perverse,
and rebellious people.
God can still
look out and see and find someone who can find GRACE in the sight of the Lord. Someone
who refuses to bow to idolatry, REFUSES to serve sin rather than the SON.
And how bout
this one in the mist of such wickedness, such idolatry, such perversion. The
bible saids God remembered Noah.
Anyone ever
thought on oh how God’s heart and memory must be grieved with mans sinful
lifestyle. But hey there is still SOMEONE God can REMEMBER! Remember with
fondness, with desire, with love, with admiration! Could that be you?
