Turn Around, Don't Drown - #6365
Are you driving very close to the edge of the flood...flirting with those famous last words, "I can handle it"? No, you can't. Listen to these words from Genesis. Take it, if necessary, as a personal warning, "Sin is crouching at your door; it desires to have you, but you must master it" (Genesis 4:7). Turn around. Don't drown. Please.

Like a flood - a Christian perspective
The promised Messiah is prophesied to arrive "like a flood," catching people off guard with the power of his message. That certainly describes the rapid spread of Christ's gospel during the years following his resurrection.

Noah in the Bible: Genesis 6.1-22
There's a reason Noah is held up as an exemplary servant of God, and it can be seen in this passage. When God called Noah to do something that seemed baffling and pointless--in this case, to build a gigantic boat in preparation for a flood that was many years in the future--he didn't balk, but set about the task faithfully. He trusted God, and understood that God's perspective is very different from our own.
