Genesis 6:9

Genesis 6:9

Little Bible — for children and parents · Growth Figures · © Growth Figures. All rights reserved.

Three things are said about Noah: he was just (he did right), he was blameless in his generation (he stood against the current of his time), and he walked with God (he had a living relationship). This echoes what was said of Enoch in Genesis 5.

Memory phrase: Noah walked with God.

Talk about it: What does it mean to 'walk with God' every day?

Prayer: God, I want to walk with You every day, just like Noah did.
