"But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord"

l
Wickedness was so high in Noah's times that God had to pronounce judgement upon the whole world. Despite the gloomy picture Gen 6:5-7 paints before us, we find a ray of silver line in verse 8: "But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord." What was the implications of the grace that Noah found in God's sight - great deliverance for him and family from the flood that drowned ALL of the living except those with Noah.

If Noah was alone in his generation to find grace in the eyes of the Lord, millenia later in our generation, there are innumerable which include you and me, who found grace in the eyes of the Lord. God's love cannot be comprehended by a mortal man, but it pleased Him to reveal to us and to overwhelm us with His love poured out on us through His Son, Lord Jesus Christ. [Ben]
