Thus did Noah; according to all that God commanded him, so did he. And the Lord said unto Noah, Come thou and all thy house into the ark; for thee have I seen righteous before Me in this generation. Genesis 6:22-7:1
Steps 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 11, 12
Noah obeyed God and as a result of this obedience he was to be saved as well as his family. Provision had been made to save any, and all people who would respond to God like Noah did. They would do a 12th step and share this recovery message with all others and then they would help build the ark, and then get into the ark when God said it is time. Only 8 people chose to respond to the message that God had given to Noah and only 8 people were saved from their addictions.
Prayer for Today: God, when we hear Your voice, help us to be willing to listen, and to understand, and to obey. You know our hearts and You know how difficult it is for us to hear Your voice and when we hear You You know how difficult it is for us to obey You. Never the less, today, we choose to serve You again. Help us, send us people like Noah, and we pray that You will give us a listening ear and an open heart, and understanding to recognize You, and obey You. Thank You for not giving up on us.
