Day 347
Genesis 8:21-22
"And the Lord smelled a sweet savour; and the Lord said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake; for the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth; neither will I again smite any more everything living, as I have done.
While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease."
Let us begin to look at the faithfulness of God throughout the ages. His track record will allow us to label Him "Faithful and True" as He was called in Revelation 19:11.
In Genesis Chapter 8, after Noah and his family exited the ark, Noah offered sacrifices to God. God was pleased with the offerings and made a promise that was for all humanity who would inhabit the earth thereafter. He promised that as long as the earth remains (which lets us know that the earth as we know it will not always exist), there will be seed planting and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, and day and night.
If we have grown and harvested anything, we are observing the faithfulness of God. If we are experiencing cold days and hot days, we are feeling the faithfulness of God. If we still see the heat and life of summer and the cold and barrenness of winter, the faithfulness of God is being displayed before our eyes. If we still see the light of day and the darkness of night, it should remind us that God has kept His Word for thousands of years. We should have no difficulty counting our God faithful.
I will observe the things around me; the planting of seeds and the reaping of the harvest, the changes in temperature and the changes in the seasons, the brightness of the day and the darkness of the night. As I see these things, I will thank God for His faithfulness and remind myself that He is faithful to His Word.
