I have hidden Thy word in my heart.

Genesis 7. “Seven days from now I will send rain on the earth for forty days and forty nights, and I will wipe from the face of the earth every living creature I have made” (Verse 4). You’d think that after God did this, we would have been more obedient. But looking at the world now, my belief is that we are just as sinful and selfish now (if not more). So why are we still here? Why has God not wiped us out? GRACE and MERCY. The grace that came by Jesus’ obedience to the cross. First time around God cleansed the earth of men, but still we persisted in disobedience. The second time around God cleansed men (not the earth), by dying on a cross and giving us access to Himself. We don’t deserve it. It is a GIFT. Unwrap it, and use it wisely.
