God remembered Noah.
We live in a world that is pretty bleak at the moment. Just turn on the news and in the first five minutes, there will be reports on school shootings, a bad economy, random acts of violence, corrupt leaders and the Middle East is in turmoil, again. With the situation looking so dark, we may sometimes wonder if anything good that we may do is even worth it. Is it possible for one person to make a difference in this crazy mixed up world? What’s the point? Let’s take a look at Noah. Genesis 6 tells us that the world was filled with corruption and violence. Hmmm, does this sound familiar? God was done with mankind and was sorry He even created us. He was prepared to wipe us off of the face of the earth, but… But is such a tiny word with huge meaning. Verse 8 says, “But Noah found favor with the Lord.” Way to go Noah! It goes onto say that he was a righteous man and the only blameless person living on earth at the time and he walked in close fellowship with God. So even in His anger, God was looking for one good man (or woman). God wanted to find good in humankind and He did. That one good man, just one, gave God hope for the rest of us. Noah gives me a tremendous amount of hope. Noah tells me that God looks for the good in everyone and if we walk in close fellowship with him, we are pleasing Him. How can we do that? I think prayer is a good start. If we are praying regularly, then we can hear Him. Then we should follow His example and search for the good in everyone. As I write this, I know I have a lot of work to do, but I can make a difference and so can you. Seeing good in everyone is a tall order. Thanks to grace, I can fail. All I have to do is try my best and let God do the rest. How can you make a difference to someone today? Have an awesome day! Wendy 🙂
