Jesus compared the days preceding His coming to the days of Noah. People were eating, drinking, marrying, and carrying on with ordinary life while ignoring God’s warning of coming judgment. The problem was not simply that they were living normal lives, but that they were living without regard for God. Let us not become so occupied with this present world that we forget eternity. Scriptural Readings for the Day Matthew 24:36-39 (KJV) But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. Genesis 6:5 (KJV) “And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
” Prayer Father, help me not to become distracted by the pleasures and cares of this present world. Give me the faith of Noah to believe Your Word, obey Your voice, and prepare for the coming judgment. Amen.
