Today's encouragement comes from Genesis 7:16b, where we read these words:
" . . . and the LORD shut him [Noah] in [the ark]."
This is a beautiful picture of God Himself sealing one of His own (Noah), in the ark, which represents the Lord Jesus Christ and His holy church. God did not send an angel to shut up the ark; neither did He employ an animal, the wind, or any other aspect of nature or creation.
The Lord knows how to bless and protect His own children, even as they sail through the stormy and wind-tossed seas of life on this fallen planet. Are you in Jesus, and His church covenant today? If so, be sure to bless God for this great privilege; and do all you can to bring glory to His Name—through the ark’s “Captain,” our Lord Jesus Christ.
[Puritan quote of the day: “Lack of love to God is the ground of apostasy.”
—Thomas Watson, in, "All Things for Good"]
