Righteousness, Closeness and Follow Through

Genesis 6; Genesis 7; Genesis 8; Luke 3

Scripture:
Genesis 6:9 This is the account of Noah and his family. Noah was a righteous man, the only blameless person living on earth at the time, and he walked in close fellowship with God

Observation:
As God looked over the earth He saw the wickedness of man. It is incredible to think He found only one righteous God fearing man. What incredible anarchy. Yet the righteousness of Noah promoted him. God choose him to be the future of the human race. He was called to an inedible task.

Application:
I am reminded again this morning that God looks for righteousness and those who walk close to Him. Righteous and a close walk with God are the keys to promotion and elevation. I believe this is the year for Cindy and I to breakout. God has been preparing us and yes we have mountains to overcome, but our mountains are mole hills to God. I believe that righteousness, character, godliness, integrity and the anointing will unlock huge doors for us. It's time for me to step into it. Noah had to step into his calling an build an ark. People must have mocked him, laughed at him, yet he had to obey and step into his calling. I don;t believe for one minute that when he shut the doors the spirit of revenge creep-ed in, for Noah seems like the kind of guy. Noah stuck the course, the fulfilled what God asked him to do. In my life I simply need to trust and obey. The left and the right will try to draw me off course, but the path ahead is simple.

Prayer:
Lord thank You for this new day. Thank You for the anointing You have put on my life. I pray for breakthrough in my life. Forgive me for my sins and wash me clean. Renew my heart and mind to You. Draw me deep into Your presence so that I may know Your heart and Your ways. Bless my wife, our finances, our home, our health and our callings. Fill us with peace, wisdom, favor and clarity. We love You. Amen.
