Noah

November 19th – Psalm 76:4

Psalm 76:4

The world today is in great need of hope. Everywhere we turn, we are inundated by news of tragedy, horror, and violence. As in the days of Noah, (Luke 17:26-27) people are openly sinning against God with no fear of the consequences. And although Christians around the world are sounding the alarm of the Lord’s soon return, the world mocks the message and the messengers.  Yet as the world spins out of control, and people panic over the darkened days, we as followers of Christ have all we need to lead lives of encouragement and joy. For as Job 11:18 reminds us, “You will be secure, because there is hope; you will look about you and take your rest in safety.” The Lord is our source of illumination, a light that shines in the midst of darkness. Our mighty mountain of strength and stability in which we can place our hope. His glorious nature surpasses even the most magnificent of mountains. And His majesty shines in the richness of His supreme authority, infinite wisdom, and divine splendor.

September 2nd – Genesis 8:22

Genesis 8:22

Before the great flood, God’s heart was grieved as He looked upon the wickedness of the world. And with the unending rain He sent, it was His intent to blot out mankind forever. Yet Noah found favor in God’s eyes. And because of that favor, despite the cataclysmic consequences predicted by global warming, the patterns of nature will continue. Day will follow night, the seasons will continue to change, and sowing will be followed by harvesting. All because of God’s amazing grace and unending patience from wanting none to perish. While the earth remains, we have God’s promise to never again destroy everything living thing. (Gen. 9:22) But one day soon the Lord will return and remake the heavens and earth. (Rev. 21:1) And only those who receive Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior will witness firsthand the glory of His new creation.

June 20th – Romans 1:7

Romans 1:7

Throughout the Bible we learn story after story of godly fathers. From Adam to Noah, and Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, God has given these fathers a place of honor in history. And because He knows the difficulty and importance of a father’s job, God’s Word is filled with advice for handling the task of raising children. And He knows of what He speaks. For God is our great Father. The One who through His unfathomable love and mercy, calls us His very own. For when we receive Jesus as our Savior, we become adopted heirs into the family of God (Rom. 8:17, 1 John 3:1) He loves and cares for us as a father cares for His children. And I for one, can’t think of a greater day than when our Father calls us home to dwell with Him for eternity!
