Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water. I Peter 3:20

Steps 2, 3, 11, 12

God told the people of the world that He, the Judge of the whole earth (Genesis 18:25, would give mankind 120 years of probation. If they did not choose to change, and come to Him and enter into recovery, that He would destroy the earth with a flood. While Noah was preaching and building the ark, God would monitor the people and assess what they would do. God knew what would happen but He still gave free choice, time, and information. Noah told the people what would happen, and by building the ark, he told the people that God meant what He said and that He would follow through. Each person had to decide, and only eight people made that decision.

Prayer for Today: God, thank You for being patient with the people then, and with the people today. Help me to make the decision that Noah and his family made. Help us to choose to serve You and to go through Your recovery program. Thank you for these stories so that we have a fair opportunity today. Thank You for our probationary time and we pray for your help to see and to do what is best for our recovery.
