“A Look In The Mirror”
Tuesday, June 11, 2024Key Verse
““And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.” Genesis 6:12
Text — Genesis 6:6-13
Message
To look according to English dictionary is to try to see or to pay attention with your eyes. Everyone on earth uses the eyes to see, except for the blind who cannot see as a result of defect in his sight. In our text today, we see that God looked on the earth and saw that everyone was corrupt, no good was seen in man because of wickedness and evil and God was not happy. But in the midst of all these, Noah found grace in the sight of God because he always spent time to examine himself through the mirror of God’s word.
Like Noah, the only way you can find grace in the sight of God is by taking a look at the mirror of God’s word. This, you can do by reading and studying God’s word and see how dirty and defiled you are, confessing your sins to Christ and promising never to go back to those sins anymore. Then read your Bible and pray every day, continue in constant fellowship with the children of God and wait in expectation for the rapture.
