Key Verse: “But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord. These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God” (Genesis 6:8, 9). Text —Genesis 6:1-10 Message: The word ‘Grace’ in our memory verse refers to favour. The Bible records that Noah was just and righteous amid a people whose way of living made God regret that He had made man. He did not allow the pressure from the world to make him conform to their practices. He chose to be different and to honor God. He was a righteous man. His righteousness did not go unnoticed by God and as a result, God chose to keep him and his family safe during the flood and used him to preserve life on earth. Paul Yonggi Cho further defines this kind of grace for believers as, “A good will given out of unconditional, overflowing love with no expectation of reward or payment.” When we are born again and walk righteously, we find favour in the sight of God, ‘for thou, Lord, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield’ (Psalm 5:12). Favour before God begins by being born again, then abundant blessings and benefits become our possession. Are you born again? Quote: He was a righteous man Challenge: Righteousness breeds God’s favour and blessings. Prayer for today: Lord, help me to be righteous in Your sight always.
