male and female

Genesis 7:7-10
"7 And Noah went in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him, into the ark, because of the waters of the flood.
8 Of clean beasts, and of beasts that are not clean, and of fowls, and of every thing that creepeth upon the earth,
9 There went in two and two unto Noah into the ark, the male and the female, as God had commanded Noah.
10 And it came to pass after seven days, that the waters of the flood were upon the earth."

Our world was ruled by VIOLENCE and CORRUPTION. A world like that is very dangerous and scary. Fear and loathing rules the hearts of people. No one can be trusted. The weak and vulnerable are preyed upon. The wicked and ruthless thrive. It's the kind of place we might describe as dystopian; extremely bad, characterized by deprivation, oppression, and terror. The world was such a VERY bad place that God was "GRIEVED" that He had made man! 

In today's verses we read about the GREAT FLOOD waters rising up to wipe clean the wickedness that was everywhere. "...the waters of the flood were upon the earth." Noah was a just man and his family had FAITH and HOPE! They ALL had to FOLLOW GOD'S instructions on building the Ark and rescuing the animals! GOD said "THOU SHALT" and they did. They loaded the ark; "There went in two and two unto Noah into the ark, the MALE and the FEMALE, as God had COMMANDED Noah." It rained for forty days and forty nights! The flood waters rose floating the Ark. Starting their high seas journey that would last for a full year! If Noah, his wife, their sons and their wives did not follow GOD'S instructions, or "commands," there would be no life on earth after the Great Flood!!! GOD really loves them and saves them from the wickedness of the world and the dangerous flood waters!

Elisha’s example

1 Kings 19:19-21 "19 So he departed thence, and found Elisha the son of Shaphat, who was plowing with twelve yoke of oxen before him, and he with the twelfth: and Elijah passed by him, and cast his mantle upon him. 20 And he left the oxen, and ran after Elijah, and said, Let me, I pray thee, kiss my father and my mother, and then I will follow thee. And he said unto him, Go back again: for what have I done to thee? 21 And he returned back from him, and took a yoke of oxen, and slew them, and boiled their flesh with the instruments of the oxen, and gave unto the people, and they did eat. Then he arose, and went after Elijah, and ministered unto him." In Luke 9:54, after James and John sought to call down fire on a Samaritan village that rejected Jesus, they referenced Elijah, saying, “even as Elias did?” Jesus then taught three lessons about rejection: 1- Discipleship demands sacrifice, embracing hardship and forgoing earthly security. 2- Following Jesus requires immediate, un...

I will make you

Matthew 4:19&20 "19 And He saith unto them, Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men. 20 And they straightway left their nets, and followed Him." In our "Follow Me" series, we study Jesus calling His disciples in the Gospel of Matthew. By the Sea of Galilee, a thriving fishing hub, Jesus saw Simon and Andrew casting nets as humble fishermen. His disciples were ordinary workers, not wealthy or educated elites. Jesus approached them and said, "Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men." Remarkably, they immediately left their jobs to follow Him. This brief exchange conveys a profound truth: Jesus says, "I will make you." Only God can transform us to accomplish His purpose. We should often pray, "Help me, God," seeking Jesus' guidance to follow His plan for our lives.

God’s patience

2 Peter 3:9 "The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance." God did not immediately punish King Solomon when he allowed his foreign wives to build altars for false gods. Despite multiple compromises, God remained patient. Over time, Solomon’s endorsement of idolatry defied God’s covenant, leading to divine judgment, including the loss of the kingdom for his son. Some mistake God’s patience for indifference or inaction, but He follows His plan in His timing. If our nation, culture, church, or we ourselves stray like Solomon, we can repent and return to God’s path. And, should do so sooner than later! Amen!
