Noah did everything just as God commanded him. Genesis 6:22 NIV During Noah's lifetime there were 3 features of society; - rapid population growth - technological advancement - moral decline The same could be said for our world today... and Noah's response was to keep doing what God asked... to invest his life in what must've seemed like a pointless exercise at times... building a boat miles from the sea... when there had never been rain... He calls us to represent Him in the world, to be agents of grace, restoration & hope, to be God's love in a damaged world... will we keep doing as He commanded even when it's messy, tough... costly...? #lessonsfromNoah #2017 #resolution

Seven days from now I will send rain on the earth for forty days and forty nights... Genesis 7:4 NIV Never before in the human history had it rained. Not in Noah's 500 years, nor in the generations before Noah. God was bringing something new. And it took one person to remain completely faithful to God's call on his life. He spent 75 years building a boat to save the world from something beyond its experience. All God asked was that Noah followed His instructions...and that's all he asks of us...will we do that in 2017? Love God Love people If we are faithful maybe God had something completely new in 2017... #lessonsfromNoah #2017 #resolution

Noah was a righteous man, blameless among the people of his time, and he walked faithfully with God. Genesis 6:9 NIV One person who walked faithfully with God. That's all it took to change God's mind from total annihilation to making a way of redemption. One person Waking with God For 500 years! Ok so we're not going to get 500, but this year, 2017, will we simply resolve to walk daily with God? To reach out our hand to His and walk with Him... Could that be our resolution this year? #lessonsfromNoah #2017 #resolution

The Lord saw how great the wickedness of the human race had become on the earth... The Lord regretted that he had made human beings on the earth, and his heart was deeply troubled. So the Lord said, "I will wipe from the face of the earth the human race I have created...for I regret that I have made them" But Noah found favour in the eyes of the Lord . Genesis 6:5-8 NIV But Noah. If sometimes it seems you're the only one doing what's right - Noah actually was! The whole world was on a track of selfishness and moral decay...except for one person. Maybe you're the only one in your workplace, class, home or family...God sees that... sees the one who stayed the course...and He made a way for that one person. If you feel alone in your faith, then you're in the same boat as Noah, one of the great heroes of the faith, so hang in there, stay the course...keep the faith #lessonsfromNoah #newyearnewbeginnings
