We know that we are created by God and created for His purpose...but do we really know and accept that we are His and He can do whatsoever He pleases...He chose to give us free will...free will is a gift from Him...<BR/>My friend recently shared with me that she did have a revelation of our being created by and for Jesus...while I know this I don't know this...since my conversation with my friend I stated to her and then prayed to know this...and God is gracious to answer that prayer...<BR/>Noah had to be walking so close to God and know God's heart, so trusting of God's purpose, plans and so submitted to God's authority -that he either wasn't tempted or was able to overcome the temptation to pray for self and others...Moses prayed on the behalf of Israel, Abraham prayed for Lot and his family...God had mercy and responded to their prayers...I believe that it is the heart of God that we pray for others...so if Noah's heart was not stirred with a desire for prayer then this was a time that God would not be moved-a time God was determined to destroy His creation and God's heart must have been broken that people sinned so gravely to cause Him to respond in this way. this was absolutely a time to be quiet before God...<BR/>In His Love,<BR/>Debrahdebrahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15291497901318105342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4211560356683296583.post-81899052793394801812008-09-20T09:14:00.000-04:002008-09-20T09:14:00.000-04:00Acceptance and ownership of fault is a sign of mat...Acceptance and ownership of fault is a sign of maturity...isn't it? I find when I am mature emotionally and close to the Lord I have the strength to own my sins/errors. In dealing with others I have found this is a true sign of their order in their lives lining up with God in them. <BR/><BR/>Noah must have been so very close to God to diligently obey and complete his mission with so few to encourage him.<BR/><BR/>Love the picture on this post.Kay Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18439531579914171736noreply@blogger.com
