to be read Wednesday, Sept. 29
5 The Lord saw that the wickedness of humankind was great in the earth, and that every inclination of the thoughts of their hearts was only evil continually. 6And the Lord was sorry that he had made humankind on the earth, and it grieved him to his heart. 7So the Lord said, ‘I will blot out from the earth the human beings I have created—people together with animals and creeping things and birds of the air, for I am sorry that I have made them.’ 8But Noah found favour in the sight of the Lord.

This is the strongest statement about mans sinful nature. Sin begins in the thought life. The people in Noah's day were completely sinful from the inside-out. Don't think that Noah was spared because of his works. Noah believed in God as Creator. God as Sovereign, and the only Savior from sin. Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord.
God's sorrow is something that we often overlook. We forget how the things that we do bring pain to God. Sin isn't bad just because it is bad....sin hurts.
The human heart, the "seat" of all emotion, intellect & faith; the mind & the soul of the spirit which controls our every thought & deed.
Noah became God's prophet, he preached for 120 years & all(but Noah's family) would still not listen. For this, Noah found grace.
