Thank God for the Flood.

I have noticed the extreme importance in the promise that God makes in Genesis 8:20-21 as of lately. God straight up tells Noah that never again will he destroy all the living creatures as he did during the floor. I've noticed lately that it's such an amazing comfort to know that as screwed up as we as a society has become we are safe from us and all the animals dying out of nowhere. No, I am not saying that there will be no natural disasters, but the whole world won't die from one. 

With as terrible of people as we have become it's an amazing blessing to know this. We've come to the point where we have become so arrogant that we are telling God that he messed up. We don't trust God. As a nation we don't want him in our schools, homes, politics and for some even their lives. Heck, we've even tried to do his job better than he can. News flash: there is no such thing as God free, say it as much as you want to, but it doesn't exist. You may want nothing at all to do with God, but it doesn't change the fact that he wants nothing more than everything to do with you.

Isaiah 54:9-10 (NIV)

 "'To me this is like the days of Noah, 
       when I swore that the waters of Noah would never again cover the earth. 
       So now I have sworn not to be angry with you, 
       never to rebuke you again.

  Though the mountains be shaken 
       and the hills be removed, 
       yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken 
       nor my covenant of peace be removed,'
       says the LORD, who has compassion on you."

God has had every reason to flood the Earth a second time, but he hasn't. Instead of wiping us out he gave us a chance of forgiveness, amazing. A gift that we truly do not deserve.
