Light five candles before reading.
Usually God holds back his anger over sin. But one time he let it loose, so we would know how serious it is to turn our backs away from God and toward the darkness, and so we would know how great his wrath is against sin.
BUT he did not totally destroy his creation. He showed us his mercy, through Noah.
1. Read the passage above slowly. (Click on the passages for the link.)
2. Linger with it quietly.
3. Ask God what He is saying to you and how He invites you to respond.
4. Write out or say a prayer back to Him.
5. Thank Him for His message to you today.
Snuff out one candle. Do not light again until Easter Sunday.
Hold on, it gets better… His rescue plan would change history forever. He would bring justice for you and me…
More reflections to come…
