Lord, help me to remember that nothing is going to happen today that you and I together cannot handle.

Day 6 - Genesis : Chapter 6

Today we need to complete My eBay integration. Otherwise, we may not get merge approval. I checked the FP in the morning and it still looks bad. Looks like unless I get into it again, it may not really happen !

Genesis 6

God looks at the world and is totally dismayed. It probably degenerated into a very bad place much soon that it should have been. He decides that people will not live longer. 120 is the maximum age. This chapter also warns strongly against wrong kind of intercourses. "Heavenly beings" mentioned here are probably people with great physique and personalities. Angels cannot marry humans. In fact angels do not marry at all. They are spiritual beings and not human beings. Read commentary in the link above for more explanation.

God tells Noah - "I have decided to put an end to all people. I will destroy them completely, because the world is full of their violent deeds." [6:13]
He also tells Noah to build an ark and gives the exact dimensions and material. Also tells him to put all kinds of animals in it.

Am reminded of the movie "Ewan Almighty" - It truly captures how people would have ridiculed Noah and how tough it would've been for him to construct the Ark. It was indeed a miracle.

Noah, a true believer, did exactly as God commanded.
