Almost everything he had ever known was gone – his home, his neighbors, and his land. He had no choice but to begin again. But he was not sorrowful; he did not despair. His countenance showed signs of gratitude and peace…for he was saved and realized it was not of his own doing. This man was Noah.

While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest…shall not cease. Genesis 8:22

All he and his family had left was a big ship, worn and torn after a year on the sea. But his first response upon disembarking was to build an altar and give thanks to God for His protection. Noah didn’t wait for times to get better. He showed himself worthy of God’s confidence in him and gave thanks immediately.

And for that, the promises God made to him are true for us today. Never again will such a calamity envelope the Earth. In fact, the Lord guarantees that “seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night, shall not cease.” (Genesis 8:22)

Dear one, no matter your circumstance or the state of this nation, give thanks to God. Attest to all His blessings. Stand strong. Then intercede for those leaders who have turned their backs on God…that they might come to know the truth of His faithfulness.
