Bible Commentary

Genesis 9:28

Three hundred and fifty years after the flood — a long and full life of walking with God in the restored world. Noah lived long enough to see the world fill with people, to see generations inherit the covenant promises.

Memory phrase: A long life well lived.

Talk about it: What do you think it was like to have lived through the flood and then to see the new world grow for hundreds of years afterward?

Prayer: God, help me to live a long, faithful, fruitful life for You.
