May 16 Devotion

Read Genesis 8


As Noah came out of the ark he turned the animal loose and turned his turned his heart toward God.  He built an altar to worship God, the saving God who had mercy on him and his family. 


God responded with tenderness and compassion.  "God said in His heart" is a phrase that means that God set His attitude and intention to never curse the earth (ground) even though the heart of mankind is full of evil intentions.  The seasons would be firmly established in the weather patterns and climates that are remarkably predictable for as long as the earth endures. An act of patience and mercy. In spite of our sin and rebellion, God allows His creation and people to endure.
