Do you ever consider what it was like before a disaster comes? Noah probably was not happy before the flood or after the flood. Noah a preacher of righteousness/faith, knew God had promised him a future if he obeyed, yet those around him only seen an old man building a boat with his family. A boat that was taking a long time to build. People made fun of his boat, and his family. Never think what if Noah was right. The rain came and destroyed all outside the boat of safety. Now Noah waited for dry land to appear. It was 40 days of rain inside the ark and not until the seventh month did the ark rest on Mount Ararat. Noah planted a vineyard, made wine and got drunk. He had a period of time to think about getting drunk. As the grapes grew he must of thought of the day he could forget what had happened. Did he want to even consider what he saw and heard.

Being drunk has it cost. One thing if drunk enough you will not remember the party you had. Two if drunk one will not remember how you landed up where you awake from. Three there is always someone to tell at least a little of what happened. Ham saw the result of his father’s weakness and had to tell someone. Maybe Ham could not believe his father would get that drunk, or never seen a drunk man. Maybe Ham had never consider his father being human with frailties. Whatever cause Ham to gossip about his father, only cause his brethren to cover up the problem by not looking at their father but placing a blanket over him. They were willing to cover their father’s sin. Noah upon waking and hearing about Ham gossiping cursed his son Canaan saying he would be a servant to his brothers.

God covers our sin with the blood of Jesus. He does not glorify our sin in anyway, but covers it. The devil uncovers sin. The devil place is in hell and the fiery lake of fire. When he in his permit home, he only be able to torment those there in his habitation. Our sin by belief in Jesus is covered by His blood. The vail of blood that covers us, is our protection. Christ life paying the price for our transgressions. His life covering all our sin upon belief. There is no other payment but killing of God’s word for us to receive salvation. Every person that believes is covered. For the world crucified Jesus because He is the Word of God. There is not one person that as not misunderstood God and twisted at some point in their life to fit their need. There no one perfect. Yet believe gives us the hope of salvation. The eternal knowledge of knowing we are saved by grace and not by our works. God is so holy that he can not look upon our sin, He covered us before we sinned the first time, yet there has to come a place of receiving His work already done for us. One has to come to a place of repentance and feeling remorse for sin to understand the power of the cross of Jesus. We are doomed by the refusal to receive God’s covering. Noah other two sons received a covering because they gave a covering. Ham son would be punished for his father’s transgression. God’s sin is cover by his Son’s transgression. Did God sin no but He made his creation imperfect with the ability to sin. Admitting our mistakes makes us not God. God admitting He created us that way, only makes Him God.

The other day I got in argument only to be able to declare I was right this time. Yet in my mind I was thinking I might not be right next time. God is right all the time. Man can not destroy God’s word, they may try but God’s word remains and is faithful and true. If God promises hope then hope is there. God gave man hope upon belief. Adam and Eve lost hope through unbelief of God’s word. They were cast out of the garden of Eden.

Dear Heavenly Father restore each of your children upon belief to the hope of eternal life through your Son Jesus. In Jesus precious name, Amen.
