Daily Thought

Adam

God saw all that he had made, and it was very good.
--Genesis 1:31

Seth, Enosh, Kenan, Mahalalel, Jared, Enoch, Methuselah, Lamech

Noah

The LORD was grieved that he had made man on the earth, and his heart was filled with pain.
--Genesis 6:6

10 generations. That's all. One delightful piece of fruit let loose a flood.

Just as it was in the days of Noah, so also will it be in the days of the Son of Man. People were eating, drinking, marrying and being given in marriage up to the day Noah entered the ark. Then the flood came...
--Luke 17:26-27

We could stop eating the fruit, but instead, we learn to swim.

"How long can you tread water?"
--Bill Cosby, "Noah"

To God's Glory,

Daily Prayer

Our Good God, as Your Son pointed out, "Only God is good." You are the Only One. You are the Creator and the Source of all that is good. I know, I keep repeating "good," but isn't that what we want on earth? Goodness and love. And yet, God, we turn our backs on You and go our own way. God, we are foolish.

God, You are good and You are love. I want to know You more. I want to know the depths of Your wisdom, and the breadth of Your love. May I always seek You and follow You. Lead me in the way of righteousness and life.

Amen
