DAILY READINGS: Num. 26:52 to 27:23; Prov. 23:12-35; Luke 1:57-80
God saw everything that He had made, and, behold, it was very good. Genesis 1:31
God saw that the wickedness of man was great on the earth. Genesis 6:5
But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord. Genesis 6:8
These are the first two times the word “saw” is used in relation to God. In the first instance God saw that all of His work was very good. In the second, He saw that all of man’s works were wicked. It seems so much so in our lives too. What He does is so good and what we do falls so far short. But He doesn’t give up on us. The Lord sought out Noah. He rested His eyes upon him and Noah found grace in that gaze. Look to Him today and you will find grace in His eyes too. —S. McEachern
Grace taught my wandering feet, to tread the heavenly road;
And new supplies each hour I meet, while pressing on to God. —P. Doddridge
