Noah did it
“Noah was a righteous man, blameless among the people of his time, and he walked with God” Genesis 6:9 (NIV)
When Noah was living his pre-ark, normal daily life, he “walked with God”. He did that even, pretty much, when everyone else wasn’t. As a matter of fact, they weren’t even close, which is why God wanted to do the “Great Start Over” and wipe them all out.
The people were living for pleasure, lust, greed, hate, sexual perversion, selfish ambition… Yet Noah walked with God. He had no accountability partner, bible study group, Christian counselor, Sunday school class, Pastor of Arking, or any other support in his quest to walk with God.
I guess the everyone-else-is-doing-it excuse gets all shot to heck with the life of Noah.
“Walking with” anyone infers a relationship, a comfort of being together, an intimate communication while moving through the daily routine.
Walking with God is a chance to hang out with the Creator of the universe that just so happens to long to weave into our lives.
PRAYER FOR TODAY
Heavenly Father, teach me to walk with You as I go through the pressures of life. Give me an intimate communication with You. Guide me, comfort me, strengthen me, especially when it seems, like Noah, that I am all alone in my journey. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.
