Genesis 8:15-22
The flood changed nothing in the heart of humans. What is revealed is an even stronger commitment on the part of the Lord toward his creation. He knows that human persons and human community cannot save themselves. This intensifies his compassion. His commitment to humanity is costly. How costly? Who can measure the flood of compassion in the heart of God? We get a pretty good picture of that centuries later.
Prayer:
God, thank you for sticking with us. I think I’m persistent? I think I can stick out the tough stuff? There is nothing like your commitment to your creation. There is nothing you desire more than for any one of us just to turn to you in returning love and trust. I now renew my declaration of reliance on you. Through Christ. Amen.
