Through the Lord’s mercies we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness (Lamentations 3:22–23, NKJV).
God, as the Judge of all the earth, determined the wickedness of Cain’s civilization could no longer be tolerated, and He sent the flood to wash it away. God, Who judged the world, is the same God Who saved the world from His own judgment by providing the ark as a means of escape. Praise God! That’s His goodness!
Like pouring oil on troubled waters, our knowledge of Who God is calms our fears. So . . . keep your faith, and keep your focus!
God is faithful
and gracious
and good
and loving
and patient
and holy
and righteous
and merciful.
