Tuesday – Pentateuch

Reading – Genesis 7-8

Highlight Verse:

“A male and female of each kind entered, just as God had commanded Noah. Then the Lord closed the door behind them.”
‭‭Genesis‬ ‭7‬:‭16‬ ‭NLT‬‬‬‬‬‬‬

Did you ever notice that Noah didn’t shut the door on the ark. Yahweh, the Lord did.

I’ve read commentaries saying this symbolized the fact that only the Lord could open or shut the door on salvation.

Personally, I just think that it needed to be shut and sealed from the outside and God wasn’t willing to sacrifice any of Noah’s family to be left behind to shut the door.

I could be wrong. But I know that God wanted to save Noah and his family. By extension, that means you and me too as we all descended from Noah.

God has us covered.

How has God stepped in to protect you?
What has He sealed you from?
