He
Walked
In
Close Fellowship With God.
Scripture
Genesis
6
9 This
is the account of Noah and his family. Noah was a righteous man, the
only blameless person living on earth at the time, and he walked in
close fellowship with God.
10 Noah
was the father of three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
Observation
If
God were going to destroy every living creature on Earth like He did
in the days of Noah would He pick you or me to build an Ark like He
did with Noah?
He
is not going to do that again, but if He did are we living in close
enough fellowship with Him to get picked for the job!
God
wants to use us for His glory. He wants to use us to point people to
Jesus, but He can't use us if we are living in sin and out of
fellowship with Him.
Someone
way smarter than me once said, “Sin
will take us farther than we want to go, keep us longer than we want
to stay, and cost us more than we want to pay. –”
“But
Noah found favor with the Lord.”
But
_______ found favor with the Lord!
Can
we place our name in the blank because we are living in close
fellowship with the Lord?
Application
I
will try to live out this day in a way that makes God smile. How
about you?
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, when I read about Noah, David, Job, Abraham, and other great
men of the Bible I realize that You have called me to live my life in
the same way as You called them to live theirs. I am to honor You by
the way I live. I am to bring You glory and honor. I am to stay away
from things that dishonor You. Give me the strength today to make
right choices. Help me to make decisions that honor You. Keep me away
from stupid sins.
I pray for those who have decided to live for
themselves and gratify sinful desires. Rescue them Lord. Save them
from destruction. I also pray for those who need healing. Give them
strength today. Heal their bodies. I want You to be able to find
favor with me today just like You did with Noah.
Daily
Bible Reading: Genesis 6,7,8; Luke 3
