Pastor Josh continued the Genesis series, looking at chapter six
Commenting that our hearts, more than our bodies, we should fix
The sons of God married daughters of man, per verses one and two
But “any they chose” implied that without God's guidance they did do
The words ‘saw, good, took’ mirrored those of Eve in Genesis three
And the result of that mentality was bad, as we once again will see
For in verse three, God said the Spirit shall not abide in man forever
For any man to live more than one hundred twenty years - never
Josh said to remember this about God, per Jonah chapter three
God sent Jonah to Ninevah, where much wickedness He did see
Jonah preached “forty more days and Ninevah will be overturned”
Led by their king, the Ninevites then paid attention and learned
And per verse ten, they turned from their evil ways and repented
So then God had compassion and from His threats He relented
It was actually not God who changed, it is very important to note
But the circumstances, as was made clear in Jonah’s anecdote
Man’s intentions and thoughts were evil, per Genesis six verse five
Akin to Adam and Eve being spiritually dead but physically alive
The works of the flesh, per Paul in Galatians five verse nineteen
Lead us away from the inheritance of God’s kingdom, it is seen
We are all guilty of some of those sins, such as anger or envy
Opposing the fruits of the Spirit, per verses twenty two and three
In the Old Testament, God dealt with sinful ways physically
But after Jesus died for us, He dealt with our sin spiritually
God regretted he made man, per Genesis six verse six and seven
Because of the pain man’s actions caused on earth and in heaven
Fortunately per verse eight, Noah found favour in the Lord’s eyes
We will each be hit with our own floods, Pastor Josh did advise
Per Second Corinthians twelve, God’s grace is more than sufficient
In our weakness, God's power is perfected and far from deficient
And when God’s grace appears, according to Titus chapter two
It purifies us and also encourages us what is good to always do
We should thus approach God’s throne, per Hebrews chapter four
With confidence to receive mercy and grace and so much more
And because our God is filled with love (and definitely not hate)
Josh concluded that to repent and follow God, it is never too late
On a personal note, thanks for all the emails, prayers, and concern
I will be fine and am sure many a lesson through this I will learn
For although the wrist is fractured, it could have been far worse
And I have faith that this will become a blessing, not a curse
