Genesis 6:8
Genesis 6:8
But Noah found favor in the eyes of the Lord.
Genesis 6:8 speaks of Noah finding favor in the eyes of the Lord. Despite the wickedness surrounding him, Noah stood out as a man of righteousness, and God’s favor rested upon him. Noah’s righteousness was not perfect, but his faithfulness to God in the midst of a corrupt world earned him God's grace. This favor brought salvation not just to Noah but to his family, as God spared them from the flood. Noah’s example shows that righteousness and obedience to God can lead to His favor and protection. When we walk in faithfulness, even in difficult circumstances, we can trust that God will grant us favor. His favor often leads to protection and deliverance, as we see with Noah. This verse encourages us to live with integrity and faith, knowing that God sees our hearts and extends His favor to those who are faithful to Him. Just as God protected Noah and his family, He promises to care for those who seek Him.

By the blessing of the upright a city is exalted, but by the mouth of the wicked it is overthrown.

Trust in the Lord and do good; dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture.

For whoever finds me finds life and receives favor from the Lord.

Good understanding wins favor, but the way of the unfaithful leads to destruction.
