Genesis 8:1 - 9:17


Nine: It was nice for God to make a covenant not to have a flood again. He has to keep His promise if He is God. I would like to have a clean slate to try to start again and do better.

Twelve: God was abler to control the whole world by flooding the world and returning it to dryness. This shows how evil the people were and how they disobeyed God. I know God loves me. He loves everybody, and He sent Jesus to die for us. Everybody wants a clean slate and that can happen through God.

Forty-seven: Wow! That last sentence from my twelve year old is so true. I can't wait for heaven to be totally renewed! In the meantime I struggle to find that freshness with God each day in the midst of a flood of conflict, stress, business, and sin.
