God Will Not Always Strive with Us

And the Lord said, My Spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years. Genesis 6:3

Steps 4, 5, 11

In this text God has put a limit on the time that humanity had to work with. God was going to give humanity a 120 year time limit and if they did not choose Him and recovery, He would destroy mankind. He also would work with them intensely for this final 120 years to save as many people as would respond to His call. We will find out that not many would choose Him.

Prayer for Today: God, You know it is tempting for us to judge You. We will say that You could have done differently. We pray today that You will help us to understand why You chose to deal with mankind and why You had to put a halt to the wickedness. We pray that we may mature, and eventually understand what happened, and eventually bless You for all of Your efforts for us. Thank You for today, that I can read this story and at least meditate upon Your efforts. Thank You for Your love.
