Worship | Remember | Believe | Surrender
Worship: Praise you, Father, for your fairness. You always keep your end of the covenant. Thank you for your faithfulness.
Remember
Genesis 6:18-22 - But I will establish my covenant with you, and you will enter the ark–you and your sons and your wife and your sons’ wives with you. You are to bring into the ark two of all living creatures, male and female, to keep them alive with you. Two of every kind of bird, of every kind of animal and of every kind of creature that moves along the ground will come to you to be kept alive. You are to take every kind of food that is to be eaten and store it away as food for you and for them.”
Noah did everything just as God commanded him.
Remember: God makes and keeps his covenant with his people. There are always two parties in a covenant. Noah had to fully participate (obey - build the ark) in order to make the covenant fully effective. God always works with us.
Believe
Matthew 24:37-42 - As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark; and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. That is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. Two men will be in the field; one will be taken and the other left. Two women will be grinding with a hand mill; one will be taken and the other left.
“Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come.
Believe: Jesus is coming again. Don’t be caught unaware, as the people were in Noah’s day.
Surrender: It is out of the fear of the Lord that we obey. Our obedience is counted as faith that is blessed. Fear God and obey today!
