Bible Commentary

Genesis 6:7

Judgment is not the opposite of love — it is love's response to what destroys. God's decision to cleanse the earth comes out of the same heart that was grieved in verse 6. When creation is defaced, the Creator must act.

Memory phrase: God will make things right.

Talk about it: Why is it good that God doesn't let wrong things go on forever?

Prayer: God, You are fair and good. Help me trust You even when things are hard.
