"The Age of Man"

Scripture Read:

Genesis 5 - 9

Insight Verse(s):

6:3 And the LORD said, “My Spirit shall not strive[a] with man forever, for he is indeed flesh; yet his days shall be one hundred and twenty years.”

5:32 And Noah was five hundred years old, and Noah begot Shem, Ham, and Japheth.

7:6 Noah was six hundred years old when the floodwaters were on the earth.

9:28 And Noah lived after the flood three hundred and fifty years. 29 So all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years; and he died.

Insight Gained:

Noah walked with God (vs 6:9) and God gave honor to Noah through saving him and allowing him to protect his family and the animals during the flood. After the flood Noah honors God again and has communion with him (vs 8:20). Through all this God blesses Noah with more years than he said he would give anyone. God rejoices with us, when we bless him and honor him he will bless and honor us ten fold.

My Prayer to God:

Lord father, giver and taker of life. I ask and pray you will allow me and help me to continue to commune with you that if the "numbers" of my days cannot be great, then my days that I have will, in themselves, be great. Through communion and fellowship allow me to feel ever closer to you today and ever closer every day. Amen.
