Where Are the Noahs?

Genesis 6-8; Luke 3

“…Noah was a righteous man, blameless among the people of his time, and he walked with God…Now the earth was corrupt in God’s sight and was full of violence…all the people on earth had corrupted their ways.”

Genesis 6:9, 11, 12

Jesus said that the second coming of the Son of Man would be in a generation much like in the time of Noah (Matthew 24:37-39). Partying, drunkenness, and violence marked Noah’s generation. The Hebrew word for violence is Hamas. Hamas grieves God’s heart and was the temptation to which Cain surrendered in his conflict with his brother Abel. Yet, even in the midst of self-indulgence and Hamas, Noah was living a righteous, blameless life because he walked with God. God is looking for Noahs in our generation. As sons and daughters who have been purchased by the blood of Christ, it is our privilege to be walking with God each day.. We become more like the people we spend time with, and it is no different when we spend time with God. The Spirit-filled life of surrender, obedience, and love is a bright light in the darkness of our generation.

“Lord Jesus, thank you for the privilege of walking with you, for your glory.”
