The Ignored Warning
by Dr. Paul Chappell
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.
Matthew 24:37-39
The people of Noah's day had no excuse for not knowing that the flood was coming. For decades, Noah worked on the ark, but he was not just a builder. For all of those years, Noah was warning people about God's coming judgment. Peter tells us, “And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly” (2 Peter 2:5). If the people had believed Noah's admonition, they would not have been surprised when the rains began and the water started to rise. By the time they did believe, it was too late.
The daily activities of life, meals, and marriages, are not wrong. But if we are not careful, they will fill up our time and hold our attention so strongly that we will miss what God is saying. Charles Spurgeon said, “These things engrossed all their thoughts. And yet, friends, and yet, what was the use of eating and drinking when they were to be drowned the next day? And what was the use of being married, when they were to be drowned on the morrow? If they had looked at these things in the light of faith, they would have despised them; but they only used the blear eye of sense, and thus they set great store upon these present things of mirth.” God does not hide the truth from us. It is plainly given in His Word. But it is our responsibility to heed His warnings and admonitions and live as He directs.
Today's Growth Principle:
We must keep our hearts and minds tuned to hear what God is saying amid the busyness of life.
