The LORD then said to Noah, "Go into the ark, you and your whole family, because I have found you righteous in this generation...And Noah did all that the LORD commanded him. (Gen 7:1,5).
God was going to send a flood to destroy evil men; the first time He was going to send a global flood to cover the earth; and He forewarned Noah about it, that Noah may prepare for this calamity.
1. It is the glory of God to conceal a matter.
It is the glory of God to conceal a matter, but the glory of kings is to search out a matter. (Prov 25:2)
“The secret things belong to the Lord our God...” (Deut 29:29)
2. The amazing thing is that God takes the initiative to share His secrets and plans with His children that we may be forerunners in our generation, to prepare for the flood (Noah), to intercede for others (Abraham), to lead others to the Promised Land (Moses).
And the LORD said, Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do; Seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him?
(Gen 18:17)
3. From the story of Noah, who does God share his plans and secrets with? Those who are completely obedient to Him.
And Noah did all that the LORD commanded him (Gen 7:5)
Prayer today: Abba Father, thank you for the privilege of being your child. It floors me that you would share your secrets and plans with your children. Grant me the grace to be completely obedient to you, that I may know you and your ways. I want to be someone in my generation, whom you can call upon to prepare for the flood, intercede for others and lead others to Christ. In Jesus' name, Amen.
