Bible Commentary

Genesis 7:6

The age notation grounds the narrative in history and continuity. Noah's six centuries of life point to a faithfulness that was not short-lived or situational. He walked with God through every season.

Memory phrase: Walk with God all your life.

Talk about it: What do you want people to say about you when you are very old?

Prayer: God, I want to walk with You my whole life — not just when I'm a child, but always.
