"Water, water everywhere and not a drop to drink!" Heard that somewhere, perhaps it was Mrs. Noah I overheard, "aged" woman that I am - chuckle! Nevertheless, it's a fact that the God who made the majestic oceans also ordered the monstous flood.
Why? He was weary of the wickedness He saw on the earth and He destroyed the world He made. Promised never to do it again.....whew - we're safe.....or are we?
Believers are forever safe in the care of our Lord; the wicked will one day experience not a day at the ocean on the cruise ship of the year, but a fire of destruction meant for this old world and the evil inhabitants therein. They too will look for water to drink - there will be none.
God help this wicked generation and give us a burden to, like Noah - and Mrs. Noah - be a daily witness to the saving grace of Christ, still available and free to all.....
.....and now back to the boat and Mrs. Noah. Moms, you will enjoy a favorite devo at Peggie's Place this time of the year: "All Aboard MRS. Noah's Ark!."
Have a great, God-fearing, Christ-honoring day.....and hey, I wonder if Mrs. Noah had a hidden hoard of CHOCOLATE on that boat - just a thought!!
