In reading further, one might conclude that Noah found grace because Noah was Just, perfect and walked with God. However, this is not the case. These things were so because “Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord.” Grace came first. We later learn that no one seeks after God of their own volition. It is God that seeks us out, and draws us to him. So are you as Noah, seeing wickedness all around you? Do you as Noah see that the Judgment of God is imminent? Know this, as you seek Christ, he always has a way for his own to escape the the coming judgment. So trust him, obey his Word, be faithful to him whatever may come, and you will find that he has never left you, as you stand with him on the other side. Amen.
To God be the Glory
