Bible Reading: Genesis 6:14-22
Key Verse: Verse 22 - “Thus did Noah; according to all that God commanded him, so did he.”
Key Words: Thus did Noah
I marvel at the truth of God's Word. I marvel at how, when God gives us a job, He also gives us the wisdom to do that job. I don't think Noah had built an ark before!!
If the Bible says it, I believe it; but it is important to keep God's Word in context. Let me explain.
A preacher made the mistake on Saturday afternoon of showing two boys the Bible lesson he was planning to read Sunday morning. When he turned his back, the boys glued the pages together. Next morning, the preacher read at the bottom of one page, “And Noah when he was 120 years old, took unto himself a wife who was,” and then, turning the page, “300 cubits long, 50 cubits wide, and 30 cubits high, built of gopher wood and pitched within and without with pitch.” Puzzled, he paused. Then he read it again. And again he paused, confused. Looking up, he said, “Beloved, I have read the Bible through many, many times, but this is the first time I have ever read this. But I believe the Bible to be true from cover to cover. So I accept it as proof that we are fearfully and wonderfully made!”

What to do:
✞Remember, you can make the Bible say pretty much anything you want it to say, so it's important to keep it in context.
