Pastor Josh shared on the start of Genesis nine today
Sometimes, even for God, a rebooting is the only way
“Be fruitful, multiply, and fill the earth”, per verse one
Echoing Genesis one twenty eight, His plan not done
For God’s overarching plans never actually change
Even when circumstances and situations are strange
Humans were then allowed to eat meat, per verse four
But only after there was not blood, or life, anymore
That blood equates to life isbBiblically very important
How to maximise life’s value is a topic quite constant
God now values human life above that of an animal
So partaking of dead animals is actually quite practical
But we should therefore value human life all the same
God created everyone in His image and with a name
Objectifying or degrading any other is clearly not right
Respecting our bodies, all are valuable in God's sight
God repeated what He said in verse one in verse seven
Reminding Noah what was important to Him in heaven
All believers do overcome the world, per First John five
But not necessarily all good times while they are alive
Our mission is to change death to life, darkness to light
Giving others an inheritance of spiritual life that is bright
Per the gospels, enabling everyone to have a new birth
This is how we become fruitful, multiple, and fill the earth
Jesus is the Son of God, per First John and John eight
His Spirit, water, and blood all testify that He is great
Blood of God is more powerful than of human or animal
In Jesus’ blood, there is power which is quite valuable
To heal bodies, cleanse minds, and restore relationships
Per Ephesians two, religious prejudices it can eclipse
Per First John five, our God offers us life that is eternal
All we must do is bring Jesus into a relationship internal
Whoever does not believe in Jesus will not have that life
And will no doubt have a lack of peace and endure strife
But if we have life, we should share it in ways clearly seen
For we are to proclaim the gospel to all, per Mark sixteen
