Thursday, March 13 They took no note until the flood came and swept them all away. -Matt. 24:39 Most of mankind today take no note of the warnings that Gods servants proclaim. Many even deride the idea of God intervening in human affairs--as people did in Noahs day. (2 Pet. 3:3-7) Yet, in that hostile environment, how did Noah use his time? After being informed of Gods intentions and receiving his commission, Noah built an ark to preserve men and animals alive. (Gen. 6:13, 14, 22) Noah also proclaimed Jehovahs impending judgment. The apostle Peter calls him a preacher of righteousness, indicating that Noah strove to help his neighbors appreciate the gravity of their situation. (2 Pet. 2:5) Do you think that it would have been reasonable for Noah and his family to focus their efforts on developing a business, getting ahead among their contemporaries, or establishing a comfortable lifestyle? Of course not! Knowing what lay ahead, they avoided such distractions. w12 6/15 3:3, 4
