MEMORISE: And they that went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God had commanded him: and the Lord shut him in. – Genesis 7:16
READ: Genesis 7:1-16
[And the Lord said unto Noah, Come thou and all thy house into the ark; for thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation.
2 Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee by sevens, the male and his female: and of beasts that are not clean by two, the male and his female.
3 Of fowls also of the air by sevens, the male and the female; to keep seed alive upon the face of all the earth.
4 For yet seven days, and I will cause it to rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights; and every living substance that I have made will I destroy from off the face of the earth.
5 And Noah did according unto all that the Lord commanded him.
6 And Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters was upon the earth.
7 And Noah went in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons’ wives with him, into the ark, because of the waters of the flood.
8 Of clean beasts, and of beasts that are not clean, and of fowls, and of every thing that creepeth upon the earth,
9 There went in two and two unto Noah into the ark, the male and the female, as God had commanded Noah.
10 And it came to pass after seven days, that the waters of the flood were upon the earth.
11 In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.
12 And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights.
13 In the selfsame day entered Noah, and Shem, and Ham, and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah’s wife, and the three wives of his sons with them, into the ark;
14 They, and every beast after his kind, and all the cattle after their kind, and every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind, and every fowl after his kind, every bird of every sort.
15 And they went in unto Noah into the ark, two and two of all flesh, wherein is the breath of life.
16 And they that went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God had commanded him: and the Lord shut him in.
MESSAGE:
Noah was singled out in his generation because he found grace in God’s sight (Genesis 6:5-8). God instructed him to build an ark with accurate specifications and dimensions to accommodate thousands of people and animals that would later repopulate the world.
Noah invited people to join him in the ark, but only his family members accepted his invitation. He also went into the ark with a male and female of every creature. Afterwards, God shut them in for 150 days while He sent the rain and a flood to wipe out the earth.

If Noah had not built the ark, he wouldn’t have been preserved, and if God hadn’t shut him in, perhaps he and the others with him would have attempted to step out during the flood and would have been wiped out as well. However, Noah obeyed God’s instruction to the letter.
Are you in a situation where you feel restricted by God? Do you have spiritual gifts that you want to express to the world, but God is telling you to wait while He works on you? My dear child, God makes everything beautiful in His time (Ecclesiastes 3:11), and you will achieve everything He has purposed for your life. Be patient and keep fellowshipping with Him.
KEY POINT
God will showcase you to the world at the appointed time.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Isaiah 19:1-21:17, Galatians 2:1-16
HYMN 35: ‘Tis So Sweet To Trust In Jesus
’Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus,
Just to take Him at His Word;
Just to rest upon His promise;
Just to know, “Thus saith the Lord.”
Jesus, Jesus, how I trust Him!
How I’ve proved Him o’er and o’er!
Jesus, Jesus, precious Jesus!
O for grace to trust Him more!
O how sweet to trust in Jesus,
Just to trust His cleansing blood;
And in simple faith to plunge me
’Neath the healing, cleansing flood!
Yes, ’tis sweet to trust in Jesus,
Just from sin and self to cease;
Just from Jesus simply taking
Life and rest, and joy and peace.
I’m so glad I learn’d to trust Thee,
Precious Jesus, Savior, Friend,
And I know that Thou art with me,
Wilt be with me to the end.
