提要
當人在世上多起來後,世上的罪惡跟著增加了(6:5)。終於,上帝決定以洪水為審判來毀滅人類。只有一個人和其家族在面對審判時,贏得了上帝的稱讚,那就是挪亞。挪亞順服的承擔起一世紀的造船計劃,這個計劃是為了拯救他那一家相信的人。隨著洪水的漲勢,挪亞一家八口在上帝關愛的保守下,愈升愈高。 |

每日與主同行
如果一個人一再重覆承諾,你可以肯定,他不太會守信!而上帝一再重覆祂的應許時,你一定要相信:祂絕不會失信。
上帝是值得信任的嗎?祂真的會信守諾言嗎?對於祂的應許的可信度是百分之八十…九十…還是百分之百呢?古代的造船人挪亞想必也在這些問題中掙扎、困惑過,因為他自己和一家人的性命全都繫在上帝的應許上。來,我們花幾分鐘為上帝打分數,看看祂是如何對挪亞遵守諾言的。是 / 否

天上的彩虹(9:12—16)是上帝永恆的記號,祂不會讓挪亞時代的洪水氾濫歷史重演。請看照片或畫上的彩虹—或天際真正的彩虹!每一個彩虹都提醒你(就像提醒挪亞一樣),只要相信上帝的應許,就無需擔心水有多深!

默想
水,水,到處都是水!
在創世記七章十八節到二十節中說到:「水勢浩大。」上帝想要在地上進行大掃除,絕不會只派遣一個微不足道的水災,因為祂說:「把我所造的各種活物,都從地上除滅。」(7:4)—這絕非等閒視之的威嚇!

1/4/2009 Noah's Ark and God's Judgment |
Scriptures: | Genesis 6-9 |
Heart of the Passage: | Genesis 6 |
Overview
As the generations begin to multiply on the face of the earth, the world's population greatly increases... and so does the world's wickedness (6:5). At last, Cod prepares to destroy mankind with a judgment of water. But one man and his family receive God's commendation, while the rest of humanity face God's condemnation. Noah obedi¬ently undertakes a century-long shipbuilding project in preparation for saving his believing family. As the floodwaters rise, Noah's eight-member family rides high in God's loving protection.

Your Daily Walk
When a man repeals a promise over and over, you can be pretty sure that he must have a problem keeping it. When God repeats a promise over and over, you can be absolutely sure that He doesn't!
Is God trustworthy? When He makes a promise, is there an 80 ... 90 ... 100 percent chance it will come true? The ancient shipbuilder named Noah must have wrestled with such questions, for his very life and the lives of his family were totally bound up in the promises of God. Spend a few minutes evaluating God's "scorecard" on how well He kept His promises to Noah.
"I will cause it to rain upon the earth" (7:4). Yes or No?
"I will destroy man whom I have created" (6:7). Yes or No?
"I will not again curse the ground" (8:21). Yes or No?
"1 will remember my covenant" (9:15). Yes or No?
The rainbow in the sky (9:12-16) is God's eternal reminder that He will never repeat the watery horror of Noah's day. Keep an eye out today for rainbows in photographs and drawings—or even real ones! Let each one remind you (as it did Noah) that when you're resting on a promise from God, you needn't worry how deep the water gets!

Insight
Water, Water Everywhere . . . and Very Little Else!
Three times in the space of three verses (7:18-20) it is said "the waters prevailed." God wanted to make it clear that this was no ordinary flood, and that His promise—that "every living substance that I have made will I destroy" (7:4)—was no idle threat. |
Adage
God may not promise a comfortable journey, but He does guarantee a safe landing. |
