“This same shall comfort us concerning our work and toil of our hands, because of the ground which the LORD hath cursed.”

(Genesis 5:29)

The earth was groaning like a hurt animal because the human race was overwhelmed by feelings of fear, sorrow, and despair.  People were following their own paths and forgetting God’s ways as if they were out of their minds.

Yet, there was a man named Noah. He was perfect and feared God. He was a just man and able to outstand his contemporaries (Genesis 6:8). Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord (Genesis 6:7).  There has always been a chosen one. Someone whom the Lord pleased and had a contrite heart during the uproar. God chose, blessed and used Noah.

The reality is that the world is lost and wars are arriving quickly. Thousands of people are desperately suffering because of slaughters, pain and loss. Amazingly, some of these people are very close to us. But, we are busy with our hearts grumbling while agreements, expectations and new opportunities are fading. 

Sadly, friends are betraying one another; children are rising- up against their parents and parents are ruining their children. Betrayalis running freely through deceptive words delivered in eloquent and tearful speeches. The hostility of the antagonist iswrapped up by naïve promises—promises that are embedded with evilness.  The “kings” of this world have a pair of gallows ready. The mass grave is open to thousands of disgraced starving people seeking for bread… In truth, death is throwing a party and patiently waiting for them to attend. During our perilous times (1 Timothy 4:1-1) the only safe place to be is inside of “God’s Ark”. Whoever is not found living in it will drown in the rising waters.

Noah was a type of Christ. He prefigured the comfort of the Holy Spirit.

While God’s judgment reached the human race… And the flood of waters rose abundantly overflowing all earth (Genesis 7:6). God delivered Noah when he “went into the ark” (Genesis 7:7). Inevitably, feelings of comfort, security, hope and peace rested inside the ark. God certainly pays all of our efforts, anxieties, and troubles off with safety, happiness and promises. It doesn’t matter what is going on or how it’s affecting us because it’s written:“In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world” (John 16:33)“And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you forever.” (John 14:16)The Holy Spirit is upon His church and living inside of each true Believer who walks in the Lord’s path and fear His Holy Name.

May Godblessyou.

GOD AT WORK

 “Come and see the works of God…”– Psalms 66:5

Mankind can be efficient, intelligent, and dedicated, but the Lord is who does the Works

Wealth, beauty, and pride will only provide for the natural goods thatone can achieve on his own. Honor for an accomplished Work comes from God.

The environment does not reproduce human respect.

It actually comes from the presence of the unseeing and undeniable God.

The glory for a Work will never be delivered by human hands,

But, it will come from God’s magnificent will:

He thinks, plans, makes and sustains what belongs to Him. 

God’s Work could even be shaped by a man’s life;

But, no man is the Work. In fact, the Work does not belong to a man;

It’s God’s Work.

Mankind is only a mean used by God to glorify Himself

Through extraordinary loving actions, signs and wonders

All of God’s Work is attacked. But, it is also unexcelled;

God’s Work is persecuted, but invisible;

When God’s Work is unappreciated by men, it is highly credited by Him.

God’s Work will never end. It will always renew and rise by the control of His power.

Pr. Reuel Pereira Feitosa
