Genesis 6:13

Genesis 6:13

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

God does not act without warning. He speaks to Noah before the flood comes. This is a mark of God's relationship with His people — He tells them what is happening and invites them to participate in His plans.

Memory phrase: God speaks to those He trusts.

Talk about it: Why do you think God chose to tell Noah His plans?

Prayer: God, help me to hear Your voice when You speak to me.
