I had a thought last night while watching the video on the Flood that I have never had before.<\/span><\/p>\n

If people had believed that there was something to Noah building the Ark, they would have torn it apart or tried to take it over, maybe even killed him for it.\u00a0 That ark was huge, and surely they noticed Noah building this ark, and yet, I cannot find anything said about\u00a0their reactions to him.\u00a0 God destroyed the earth because He saw that every thought and every intention of man’s heart was evil.\u00a0 It made me think that God surely shielded Noah from the evil of those around him so he could build the ark.\u00a0 Today\u00a0you cannot leave a nice vehicle running in your driveway for fear of thieves.\u00a0 In Noah’s days, a big sturdy boat or strong cut lumber would have been at risk.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

There is no telling how much God has saved us from by hiding the truth from evil hearts.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Just thinking out loud.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Genesis 6:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. And Jehovah saw that man\u2019s wickedness was great on the earth and that every thought and intention of his heart was altogether evil every day.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. And Jehovah regretted that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved to His heart.<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. And Jehovah said, \u201cI will wipe man, whom I have created, from off the face of the earth, as well as the beasts, the creeping things, and the flying creatures of the sky. For it grieves me that I have made them.\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. But Noah found favor in the eyes of Jehovah.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
