As I contemplate the majesty and wonder of God‘s creation, and realize that it pleased Him so much, that on the seventh day He rested, I can see that He probably surveyed and enjoyed His creation. Everything was going great. All the creatures of the earth were multiplying just as planned, and God was developing a relationship with His man Adam. Then the unthinkable happened, His man, for whom all creation was meticulously made, betrayed Him. He committed sin which ruined everything. God strived with man and tried to make it work, but man became wicked and evil. Except for one man, Noah.
Can you imagine the heartbreak our Father felt. Until it got to the point of no return. He had to start over. He had one man that he deemed righteous. And this man had a family. These people would be used to start God’s dreams over. And today, evil again permeates the Earth. He promised not to flood the earth again, but His justice will prevail. We have been given a preview in the Bible of what is to come. So we should get ready.
“The LORD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intention of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. And the LORD regretted that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him to his heart. So the LORD said, “I will blot out man whom I have created from the face of the land, man and animals and creeping things and birds of the heavens, for I am sorry that I have made them.” But Noah found favor in the eyes of the LORD. (Genesis 6:5-8)
