Noah built an ark and warned people of the impending rain that would flood the earth, in spite of the fact that it had never rained before… ever.

Noah tried, but no one would listen. Instead, they continued living in such a way that broke God’s heart (Genesis 6).

Neither the story of Noah, nor its review in today’s verse, teach that it is wrong to eat, drink, or marry. Instead, they underscore the point that we should not focus on such things if we’re going to disregard the fact that we were made by God to bring glory and honor to Him.

Nowadays, many people, just like the people in Noah’s time, have no regard for Jesus and are not interested in being ready when He comes in His glory. Please don’t be one of those people! Jesus’ warning is clear: nothing is more important than our relationship with God.

My prayer for you, and for all believers, is that we may live humbly, faithfully, and with a desire to please God so we may experience the joys of God’s promises and blessings.
