Genesis 8:22 NLT: “The Lord said in his heart, ‘As long as the earth remains, there will be planting and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night.’”
Noah had been obedient. He built an extremely large boat where heretofore there was no falling rain, gathered the animals and his family, and waited out the great flood. When the waters receded, Noah built an altar to the Lord, praising him for rescuing them while all others perished.
The condition of the planet on which we live is no accident! After the flood, God intentionally let the sun shine through, put a rainbow in the sky, and added to his covenant with mankind, saying that this would be the end of world-wide flooding!
Today we live as beneficiaries of God’s goodness and God’s covenant. We know day and night, and four seasons allow planting in the spring, growth in the summer, and harvest in the fall. Saying ‘the Lord provides’ would be an understatement!
Today would be a good day to praise the Lord for looking after us. Nowadays we don’t have to build an altar. There’s one already in place at the church in your neighborhood!
