Genesis 6:
5 Then the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
6 And the Lord was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart...
8 But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord.
NKJV
It is interesting that the Lord is not only assessing the actions of human beings, but also the thoughts of our hearts.
His conclusion was that He was sorry to have made human beings and His heart was grieved.
It must be a terrible disappointment for a loving Father to have come to that conclusion.
That's why we need to thank God for Noah: he is the one whose actions and thoughts pleased our heavenly Father. By Noah's faith and faithfulness to the Lord, he found grace in God's sight.
When the Lord checks your actions and thoughts, is He disappointed or do you find grace in His sight?
Prayer:
Father, if my lifestyle and thoughts have disappointed You up to this time in my life,
turn me around so that like Noah, I will find grace in Your sight and You will be pleased with me,
in Jesus' name,
Amen.
See you tomorrow, God willing,
when you'll find a new thought here to challenge you!
Meanwhile, have a great day walking with the Lord!
