Mountain Moments Week 1
The strength of our faith is often seen, tested, and grown in the valleys of life. When things in our life aren't what we consider good or perfect, what is our attitude? Do we express an attitude of gratitude or an attitude of indifference, despair, or defiance? Amidst all of the wickedness and evil in the world, who are the ones who find favor in God's eyes and are righteous and blameless among the people of our time? It has always been and still is those who walk with God.
Take a look at the genealogy of Noah. His great grandfather, Enoch, walked with God. When you examine the scriptures, you'll see that Enoch wasn't alive on this earth when Noah was born. Yet, his legacy of faith and trust in God must have been passed down through his son and grandson. (Read Genesis 5:21-29)
Hebrews 11:5-7 - By faith, Enoch was taken from this life so that he did not experience death; he could not be found, because God had taken him away. For before he was taken, he was commended as one who pleased God. And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him. By faith Noah, when warned about things not yet seen, in holy fear built an ark to save his family. By his faith he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness that comes by faith.
After God sent the flood, he spared the lives of Noah and his wife and their three sons and their wives. We are all descendants of Noah.
On top of Mt. Ararat, new life began.
Where are you today in living and leaving a legacy of faith?
