Devotional Reflection

LoveGratitudeHopeAwe

This reminds me of what God said to Jesus at His baptism: "...in You I am well pleased." Even though Noah's culture was full of sin, God was able to find the one heart that was loyal to Him and use him and his family to bless the world and give it a future. May we all be like this in our daily lives, at work, at school, and in our neighborhoods. Can you imagine how different things would be if we all decided to be like Noah?

Prayer

Loving Shepherd and Holy God, please bless me as I strive to live a life that pleases You and brings You joy. Please use me and the people in my church to change the world. In Jesus' precious name, I pray. Amen.
