I SOLEMNLY SWEAR
Today's reading: Genesis 4-7
"But I solemnly swear to keep you safe in the boat, with your wife and your sons and their wives." Genesis 6:18 NLT
God swore to keep Noah, Mrs. Noah and their sons and daughters-in-law safe in the ark.
The security of that covenant wasn't in Noah's craftsmanship of the ark...
Or in the obedience Noah exacted in collecting enough food stores to ride out this storm...
Or in Noah knowing the exact number of days their cruise would last.
The safety, security and salvation of Noah and his family didn't rest in what was man-made, what was humanly done OR what was understood--it all depended upon God's Word and His faithfulness to those He loves.
Nothing, from Noah's time to today, has changed about that.
When God promises to take care of His own, He does it.
When God says He forgives any and every sin, He does it.
When God says He will always be with us, He will be.
When God says we can trust Him entirely, we surely can.
Because it's His Word we can trust in, believe and stand on. It's what He says He will do. It's His faithfulness we can lean entirely upon.
God can be trusted, He is true to His word!
