Sat.’s Devo - Noah’s Journey

Read: Gen. 8-11
Creation scientists tell us that when the water shot forth from the deep it came with such power that it punched holes in the canopy that covered earths atmosphere. We call this the ozone layer. Before the flood, man lived hundreds of years but after the flood they died younger and younger. The atmosphere was changed. Adam could use 100% of his brain because the air was so full of nitrogen.

The ark rested in the seventh month just as God rested on the seventh day and he told the people to rest on the seventh day and the seventh year. The ark was to represent our covering and hiding place in the Lord. He is the one who hides us in the storm and brings us to a new land of safety and promise.
When they came from the ark God told them they could eat meat for the first time. Before that they only ate herbs and plants.

Noah had three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Ham looked at his father’s naked body when he had had too much wine. When Noah found out he cursed him and his offspring. Ham’s son, Cush had a son named Nimrod who traveled to the land of Shinar and built a city named Babel which means confusion. From there they tried to build a spiritual portal to heaven. Jesus warned of people who would try to do that in Luke 13:24. “Strive to enter in at the strait gate; for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able.” The people of Babel wanted to make a name for themselves. The people who enter through Jesus want to make Jesus famous instead.
Abram came from Shem’s line who Noah blessed.
Lord, may we make you famous with our lives.
