"Then Noah built an altar to the
Lord and took of every clean animal and of every clean bird and offered burnt
offerings on the altar. And the Lord
smelled the soothing aroma; and the Lord said to Himself, 'I will never again
curse the ground on account of man, for the intent of man's heart is evil from
his youth;
"'and I will never again destroy
every living thing, as I have done. While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest,
and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not
cease.'" Genesis
8:20-22
This is God's third universal covenant. Noah has just passed through the universal
flood where all life was destroyed except for Noah, his wife, three sons and
their wives. God re-establishes the
preciousness of life and His hope begins again.
"But do not let this one fact escape
your notice, beloved, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a
thousand years as one day. The Lord is
not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you,
not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance.
"But the day of the Lord will come
like a thief, in which the heavens will pass away with a roar and the elements
will be destroyed with intense heat, and the earth and aits works will be
burned up." II Peter
3:8-10
Take care with love, especially His!
Your servant and friend in Christ, Darlene
