Genesis 6:7. Maker's Rights

on

Genesis 6:7 “And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them.” 

The Great Maker of everything also knows how to unmake. He has every right to do as He wills with the things He has made. Yet He never destroys casually or capriciously. His name and character are pure Love, and such love could never let a rogue world continue unchecked in its flagrant, foul and self-destructive foolishness. Yet before taking action God sends warning and gives His reasons. He doesn’t keep His intentions concerning us to Himself.   

How was it known that God said He would destroy man? The answer is obvious. He told somebody. He wanted the people to know, because the very reason He gives for destroying them carries a clue as to the solution: repentance. God’s repentance should have triggered their own. So today. The world is about to face its final destruction, and our only hope is to look to our Maker and what He has done and is doing for us, believe His Word, and pattern our response on His.

The Word of God is bread from heaven. God sent it, but we must gather it, appreciate it, digest it, and live by it. These days it is increasingly scarce. Many are starving for it and don't know it because they keep feasting on bad bread that doesn't satisfy. But if we would learn to carefully gather up the fragments of the True, Heavenly Bread of Life, we would always enjoy a feast of crumbs, because even God's crumbs are miracles mighty to save (Mark 7:24-30). ESPAÑOL: La Palabra de Dios es pan del cielo. Dios lo envió, pero debemos recogerlo, apreciarlo, digerirlo y vivir por él. Hoy en día es cada vez más escaso. Muchos están muriendo de hambre por falta de él sin saberlo porque se alimentan de pan falso que no satisface. Pero si aprendiéramos a recoger cuidadosamente los fragmentos del Verdadero Pan Celestial, Pan de Vida, siempre disfrutaríamos de un banquete de migajas, porque hasta las migajas de Dios son milagros poderosos para salvar (Marcos 7:24-30).
