Noah Found Grace In The Eyes Of The Lord

And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them, That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose. And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years. There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.
And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart. And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them. But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD. -Genesis 6: 1-8

Wickedness and sin roamed greatly in the land during Noah's days on earth. God was not pleased with hearts of people. Just think, only one family that pleased God ang that was Noah, for He found grace in the eyes of the Lord. God was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart. "For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, slanders. God hates a heart that devises wicked plans, and feet that run rapidly to evil. The people did not acknowledge God and did things that were not prosperous.
We must be very careful not to grieve the Holy Spirit of God.Sin fills the earth with violence and hate today and God's people must pray and intercede for our nations. God's spirit will not always strive with men. He is the one who uproots kingdoms and destroys them. Let it be said of us, that we too found grace in the eyes of the Lord.

Noah Found Grace In The Eyes Of The Lord

In days of old, men's heart grew very cold
Imaginations ran wild and Satan they adored
Everyone was wicked and astray from the fold
But Noah Found Grace In The Eyes of The Lord

God saw that the wickedness of man was great
Men's heart grown cold and God's laws they ignored
Violent lives they lived and oh so full of hate
But Noah Found Grace In The Eyes of The Lord

God said, I'll destroy mankind whom I have made
From the face of earth, they'll go to their final reward
Theirs sins are before me, and they have not prayed
But Noah Found Grace In The Eyes of The Lord

Now the downward road would be their sad fate
It seemed with the enemy they finally had scored
They would never make it to the Heavenly estate
But Noah Found Grace In The Eyes of The Lord

Then God told old Noah to build a great big ark
For he and his family were to be safely stored
And then the world grew stormy and oh so dark
Old Noah Found Grace In The Eyes of The Lord

Good Medicine

A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones. -Proverbs 17: 22

You can usually detect when one's spirit is low. Their sense of humor seems lost and they have no song. Maybe crushed by circumstance they often do things they regret. One can have a happy heart with joy and sunshine. God can heal all the hurts and make whole. Then the sunshine of life will come back. 

A cheerful heart does us good. A cheerful heartcontributes much to bodily health and vigor. A sad spirit dries the bones and wastes the marrow. Then it is as if we are exhausted. The moisture and strength of the body is dried up. God wants us to be happy, and cheerful. By his grace he can make us cheerful.

Spread words of cheer and encouragement to someone today. Be happy and mend the broken heats and tell of His love. Let Jesus come and lift the heavy load when you fall low.

 ...Whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved. -Acts 2:21
