Bible Commentary

Genesis 6:3

God's Spirit was striving with — reaching toward, pleading with — humanity. This is God's grace: He does not give up immediately. But there is a limit to the time of grace before judgment must come.

Memory phrase: God is patient with us.

Talk about it: What does it mean that God is patient? Does patience last forever?

Prayer: God, thank You for being patient with me when I make mistakes.
