Nobody can pretend ignorance in order to excuse their sins (part 18):

Behold where we can see His wisdom:

8 – in the strength of the fountains of the deep (Prov 8:28);

We can see this strength in the deluge:

  • “And it happened after seven days that the waters of the flood came into being on the earth. In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, in the seventeenth day of the month, in this day all the fountains of the great deep were broken up, and the windows of the heavens were opened up.” (Gen 7:10,11).

If these fountains will be blessing or malediction, this depend on our relationship with Jesus. For Noah, the deluge was a blessing. See Job’s book:

  • “Behold, blessed is the man whom God corrects. Therefore do not despise the chastening of the Almighty.” (Job 5:17).
  • “For you shall be in covenant with the stones of the field; and the beasts of the field shall be at peace with you.” (Job 5:23).

If we are pleasant to the eyes of Jesus and we love Him, everything will be in our favor:

  • “And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.” (Rom 8:28).

If the fire threatens (see Isaiah 43:1,2), the only thing that it will do is to burn your bandage and your enemies (see the example of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego - Dan 3:21-25).

If the waters come, you will float (if, of course, you believe in Jesus’ word and construct your “ark”, even when there isn’t any sign of rain, when the only cloud in the heaven is small like a man’s hand (see 1Kings 18:44-46)).

So, have a good day floating in the promises of Jesus. And remember: it isn’t because the world is drowning that you need to sink too. Your “ship” (or “ark”) can save your family (as in Acts 16:31) and many creatures (those who are reached by the gospel – Mark 16:15). Unfortunately, as in Jesus’ birth only animals were present, today, for not loving Jesus, many people lose great happenings that could proportionate to them incredible opportunities (Ecc 9:11).

Remember: it isn’t suffice to obey Jesus; it’s necessary to have pleasure in His company (Psalms 37.4).
