This part narrates events after the great flood. This beautifully highlights themes of gratitude, promise, and the continuity of life.


It reads in Genesis 8:20-22 Easy: Then Noah built an altar to make sacrifices to the Lord. He took one from each clean animal and clean bird. He offered them to the Lord as sacrifices which he burned on the altar. The Lord smelled the sacrifice and it made him happy. The Lord said to himself, ‘I will never curse the ground again because of the bad things that people do. From the time that they are children, they want to do bad things. But I will never again destroy everything that breathes, as I have done this time. As long as the earth continues to be here, the time for people to plant seeds will come each year. The time for harvest will come each year. Times of cold and heat will always come. Summer and winter will always come. Day and night will never stop.’


Father God, I thank You for second chances and the joys of the seasons change. I am grateful for the provision of seed time and harvest. I appreciate the warmth of the sun and the refreshing rest through the cool of the night. I thank You and praise You for creating me as a gift. I am here to be in obedience and in awe of Your light. I cherish Your preservation and forgiveness. I thank You and praise You for Your love. I cherish the many precious promises that are kept for me in heaven. I thank You so much for those who you have sent in my life. Bless all of them. But most of all, I thank You for sending Jesus to die on the Cross. He rose again, so that He can become my Savior. This is by grace through faith. I love You, thank You, praise You and give You all the honor and glory in Jesus Precious Name Amen.
