Noah lived in a time when everyone was living a wicked lifestyle. Everyone was choosing to live according to their evil thoughts all the time. Yet, Noah chose to live a just life before the Lord. In the midst of literally everyone else going the opposite direction, Noah chose the narrow, righteous path.
As a result of Noah's choice, God chose to spare him when he decided that man's wickedness had gone too far. Mankind had gone so far that God decided to wipe them off the face of the earth. But, since our God is a just God, he knew that Noah did not deserve to die. So God made a way for Noah to survive.
If there hadn't been a Noah, we more than likely wouldn't be here. Because of his righteous living, we have the chance to live today.
Are you in a "Noah" situation? Does it feel like you're the only one living right in your world? Are you feeling like everyone else is turning their back on God while you're trying to live holy?
Don't give up! Don't get weary in doing what's right before God. Just like He saw Noah's upright life, God sees yours. Just like He chose to bless Noah and his family for righteous living, the Lord will bless you as well. When everyone else around falls apart because of the calamities of life, God will provide a miracle for you to escape.
No matter how hard it may seem, continue to stay on the right path. No matter how alone you may feel, remember that the Lord always walks with you. You are not by yourself. You have the Lord of All on your side, and He will make everything work out for the best on your behalf.
Verse of the Day: 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. But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD. Genesis 6:7, 8
