Noah
The Power of Delayed Gratification
"The Lord was sorry that He
had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart. The Lord
said, "I will blot out man whom I have created from the face of the
land, from man to animals to creeping things and to birds of the sky;
for I am sorry that I have made them." But Noah found favor in the eyes
of the Lord. These are the records of the generations of Noah. Noah was
a righteous man, blameless in his time; Noah walked with God. Noah
became the father of three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth." Genesis
6:6-9
"Now the earth was corrupt in the sight of God, and the earth was filled
with violence. God looked on the earth, and behold, it was corrupt; for
all flesh had corrupted their way upon the earth. Then God said to Noah,
"The end of all flesh has come before Me; for the earth is filled with
violence because of them; and behold, I am about to destroy them with
the earth. Make for yourself an ark of gopher wood; “
Genesis 6:11-14
"Behold, I, even I am bringing the flood of water upon the earth, to
destroy all flesh in which is the breath of life, from under heaven;
everything that is on the earth shall perish. But I will establish My
covenant with you; and you shall enter the ark—you and your sons and
your wife, and your sons' wives with you. And of every living thing of
all flesh, you shall bring two of every kind into the ark, to keep them
alive with you; they shall be male and female.” Genesis 6:17-19
"Thus Noah did; according to all that God had commanded him, so he did.”
Genesis 6:22
"By faith Noah, being warned by God about things not yet seen, in
reverence prepared an ark for the salvation of his household, by which
he condemned the world, and became an heir of the righteousness which is
according to faith." Hebrews 11:7
