Introduction

Today we begin reading excerpts from Genesis, the first book in the Bible. The word “genesis” comes from a Greek word that means “beginning.” And the book of Genesis is about beginnings—the beginning of the world, the beginning of the human race, and the beginning of the people of Israel. The book is also a book of faith, which means that it is concerned with who God is and how God has been involved in the lives of people from the time of creation. Today’s reading is about how God saved Noah and his family from a great flood that destroyed the earth and all its sinful people. The chapter begins with an account of heavenly beings and the children born to the women they took. These offspring, described as “the great heroes and famous men of long ago,” were called Nephilim and most likely are the giants mentioned in Numbers 13:31-33.

Today’s Scripture: Genesis 6:9b-10 (GNT)

Noah had no faults and was the only good man of his time. He lived in fellowship with God.

Today’s Reading 

Genesis 6:1-22

Reflect

Noah is described as one who “lived in fellowship with God.” Some translations render this as one who “walked with God” which is another way of indicating that the person was righteous and blameless. What did God tell Noah to do? What did God promise Noah (verse 18)? 

Pray

Lord God, keep me in fellowship with You and teach me to do what is pleasing in Your sight. Keep me from evil and from doing anything that is not in accord with Your will. Amen.

Prayer Concern

Ship builders.

Tomorrow’s Reading

Genesis 7:1-24: A great flood destroys all living creatures on the earth.
