READ Genesis 6
Man rebels and faces God’s judgment.

INSIGHT
Faith is believing what God has said, not merely hoping for something. It is not like wishing upon a star when, if you believe hard enough, your wish will come true. Faith is trusting God's Word. God told Noah to build an ark and save himself from the coming deluge. Noah had never seen an ark, but he believed God and was obedient to what he knew (Genesis 6:22). He believed the Word of God and acted on it. That's faith.

PRAYER
Praise our Lord Jesus Christ for His promise to us in His Word that He will give us His faith to endure:
I exalt you, my God the King, and bless your name forever and ever.
I will bless you every day; I will praise your name forever and ever.
The Lord is great and is highly praised; his greatness is unsearchable.
One generation will declare your works to the next and will proclaim your mighty acts.
I will speak of your splendor and glorious majesty
And your wondrous works (Psalm 145:1-5).

Now pray this confession to the Lord to keep your life in fellowship with Him:
My God, I am too ashamed and humiliated to lift up my face to You, my God;
For my iniquities have risen higher than my head,
And my guilt has grown up to the heavens (Based on Ezra 9:6).

Confess any sins that the Holy Spirit brings to your mind as you voice your affirmation of God's Word:
He has rescued us from the domain of darkness
And transferred us into the kingdom of the Son he loves.
In him we have redemption,
The forgiveness of sins (Colossians 1:13-14).

As you make your requests known to the Lord, pray for:
•Greater insight into the Scriptures
•The hungry in your community and around the world
•The concerns of your heart

Now offer this prayer of worship to the Lord:
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God,
And the communion of the Holy Spirit be with us all. Amen (Based on 2 Corinthians 13:14).
