The David Spoon Experience 7-15-24 part 2

The David Spoon Experience

1) We resume our journey in Genesis, chapter six, verse 8. After the disheartening revelation that the Lord regretted creating mankind, a glimmer of hope emerges. The verse concludes with the statement that Noah found favor with the Lord. For those who may not grasp the magnitude of this moment, it's important to note that Noah was the only person on the planet pursuing God at the time. This pursuit was fruitful because God had created Noah, who would become the deliverer of the human race. So, never underestimate the difference one person can make.
2) Verse nine delves into the history of Noah and his family. We learn that Noah was a righteous man, the only blameless individual living on Earth at the time. Unfortunately, the King James translation falls short in this context, as it describes Noah as perfect. This is an incomplete translation. The word means that he was mature or fully devoted to the Lord, not sinless. While Noah wasn't without sin, he maintained a strong relationship with the Lord God Almighty.
