Core Message
God’s timing and Noah’s obedience meet to preserve life through judgment.
Flow
- God invites: “Enter the ark.” Provision precedes the storm.
- Clean/unclean pairs show worship provision even in crisis.
- Rain and fountains break loose; waters prevail.
- God shuts the door—secure by God, not by human effort.
Key Verses
- 7:1 “I have seen you righteous… enter.”
- Apply: daily righteousness matters before crisis.
- 7:16 “The LORD shut him in.”
- Apply: ultimate security rests in God’s action.
Notes
- Forty days mirrors testing and transition in Scripture.
- “Prevail” emphasizes overwhelming judgment; the remnant theme begins.
Today’s Practice
- Prepare for storms with obedience, not panic.
- Keep worship priorities (clean animals) even when resources feel scarce.
