“The
wickedness of man was great in the earth.” Genesis 6:5
How much worse can it get, is a
question I have heard more than once. Sadly the answer is, “Much worse.” Read the
biblical description of Canaan and you will find wickedness that would astound
you by its pervasiveness in all society. America has become almost as wicked as
Canaan, but the days of Noah were worse. Every debauched sexual sin, so common
today, and every type of crime against neighbor that still shocks us today was
common then. The wickedness of man was great.
Noah was born into that world. Still
he was able to find a godly wife and raise a family. He didn’t become a hermit;
he became a preacher! When everyone around him was disobeying God; he publicly
obeyed God and built and ark for himself and his family. He had his sons work
with him and taught them to obey God. The world is wicked, but God is still
alive. We need to love and serve Him and raise our families to do likewise.
Dear Father, In the midst of gross
disobedience, help me to be obedient. Amen.
