After the flood, Noah’s first act upon exiting the ark was to build an altar and offer sacrifices to God. This act of worship and gratitude was pleasing to the Lord. Noah’s sacrifice symbolized his reverence and thanksgiving for God’s salvation and faithfulness. In response, God made a profound promise: despite human sinfulness, He would never again curse the ground or destroy all living creatures with a flood.
Today, Noah’s example teaches us the importance of gratitude and worship, especially after experiencing God’s deliverance and blessings. It reminds us that our sincere acts of worship are pleasing to God and that He responds to our devotion with His steadfast promises.
Then Noah built an altar to the Lord and, taking some of all the clean animals and clean birds, he sacrificed burnt offerings on it. The Lord smelled the pleasing aroma and said in his heart: “Never again will I curse the ground because of humans, even though every inclination of the human heart is evil from childhood. And never again will I destroy all living creatures, as I have done.” (Genesis 8:20-21)
Life Application:
- Express Gratitude: Regularly offer thanks to God for His blessings and deliverance in your life.
- Worship Sincerely: Make worship a central part of your life, expressing your reverence and gratitude to God through prayer, song, and acts of service.
- Trust God’s Promises: Hold on to God’s promises, knowing that He is faithful even when humanity falls short.
Let’s Pray
Yahweh, thank You for Your faithfulness and for the promises You have made to us. Father, help us to respond with hearts full of gratitude and worship, recognizing Your goodness in our lives. May our acts of worship be pleasing to You, and may we trust in Your steadfast promises always. In Christ’ name, Amen.
