Genesis 6 provides a brief historical background of the spiritual conditions of mankind during the days of Noah and the response of God. The chapter says there was a great number of people by now that filled the earth, but the Lord observed that nearly all were evil. God found that the earth had become corrupt and the extent of the people’s wickedness and violence made him sorry that He had ever made them. “It broke His heart and the Lord said, ‘I will completely wipe out this human race’...But Noah found favor with the Lord”. Interestingly, the bible describes Noah almost exactly like Enoch. “He consistently followed God’s will and enjoyed a close relationship with Him”. God says, “Make a boat... I am about to cover the earth with a flood that will destroy every living thing... But I solemnly swear to keep you safe in the boat with your wife and your sons and (their) wives.” This wasn’t much like how God rewarded Enoch , but God protected and provided for His faithful servants just the same. The chapter ends with , “So Noah did everything exactly as God had commanded him”. Though Noah was not perfect, he demonstrates remarkable faithfulness and obedience and is an encouraging example for us in our daily pursuit of a close walk with God.
