Pensamientos sobre el Verso de Hoy
Estas palabras me hacen recordar lo que Dios dijo a Jesús en el momento de su bautizo, "en ti estoy muy complacido." Aun en medio de una cultura pecaminosa, Dios pudo encontrar en Noé un corazón leal a Él. Pudo utilizarlo a él y a su familia para proveer un mundo nuevo. Tratemos de ser personas así en nuestra época, en nuestros trabajos, escuelas y barrios. ¿Puedes imaginar la diferencia que Dios puede lograr con nosotros si fuéramos como Noé?
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
This statement reminds me of what God told Jesus at his baptism — "... in you I am well pleased" (Luke 3:21-22). Even in the middle of a culture steeped in sin when Noah lived, Noah was blessedly different! God found Noah's heart loyal to him and suitable for Noah and his family to be a blessing and to provide the world with a future. Living with righteous character, gracious compassion, and faithfulness to God is hard in a world in rebellion to him and his ways. "But Noah found favor in the eyes of the Lord." May the same be said of each of us in our day as we live for God in a world so devoid of his light. Let's be that light in our jobs, schools, neighborhoods, friendships, and recreation. Can you imagine the difference we would ultimately make if each of us decided to be like Noah?
