—Genesis 7:17-24
by: Dorothy Noel.
There is a completeness to God’s judgement here. Between the depth of the water and the length of time it remained, there was no chance that a living thing could survive. No hastily thrown together raft or even a bird with incredible stamina was going to wait out this flood. Throughout this story we have seen the wholeness of God’s grief, His direct instructions, His perfect outworking of the plan, and now His completed judgement. God does not do halfway—not here, nor ever. Thankfully, just as God’s judgement is perfect and complete, so also is the salvation He provides through Christ Jesus.
