Hahas. I just wanna share with you guys something I learnt on 13 Feb 2009. Pretty long ago rite? ^^" Yea but it's one of my greatest lessons from the word of God while I was doing quiet time on that day. I read Genesis chapters 7 and 8, and what really struck me is this. God found this righteous person named Noah when He was very angry at the sinful world He had created, which He wanted to destroy with a great flood. He saw that this Noah walked right with Him, and God told Noah what He was planning to do so He ordered Noah to build an ark so that his family and himself may live. God also told Noah to take every species of animal into the ark with him as he did not want the animals to be extinct. God saw how bad the people of the world were, and wanted to rid the whole world of existence except those in Noah's Ark. God wanted Noah to live because he WALKED RIGHT with God and OBEYED God, so God finally stopped the flood after 150 days for Noah's sake (but don't you think it's still a little too long!? ^^") Anyways, when the flood died down God told Noah to live on this earth and grow in numbers, including all the species of animal Noah had in the ark with him. But all this is not the main point. The main point is, The LORD appreciated that Noah walked right with Him and obeyed Him, so He will not destroy the entire human and entire animal race again like that. Coz He also knows that flooding the whole place doean't take away the sin in Man's hearts. But INFLUENCE does, God knows He can use people like Noah to turn people to Him. He knows there are RIGHTEOUS people like Noah out there, who can save & influence others, making them turn away from sin to God. This is called OUTREACH. COZ AS LONG AS THE EARTH EXISTS, GOOD AND EVIL WILL NEVER BE GONE. THERE WILL ALWAYS BE GOOD, BUT THERE WILL ALWAYS BE EVIL TOO.

Yup, so this is what I learned on that beautiful Friday the 13th when yuwen scolded me hahahas ^^" I also learnt that conviction should be ongoing. ;D PRAISE THE LORD!:3
