The other day I was reading through the flood account in Genesis.
Some complain about the lack of information the Bible gives, but the truth is, God gives us all we need to know and then some! He paints pictures in such great detail, yet He didn't have to tell us squat!
He tells us what happened (6:1-4)
He tells us what the problem is (6:5)
He tells us what He saw and how He felt (6:6)
He also explains who is involved and how serious the issue was!
He didn't have to describe how Noah knew exactly what to do.
He didn't have to clarify exactly where the water came from (7:11-12).
He didn't have to tell us what He "said in His heart" (8:21).
He didn't have to explain the reason for rainbows (9:12-17).
But He did.
Why?
Only out of true love would someone take so much time in making sure the recipient understands what happened.
We are the recipients of the largest and greatest love letters of all time!
Take time to read it. Pour over it with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your might.
I assure you, each time you will discover a new treasure of incalculable worth.

"The law of the LORD is perfect, reviving the soul;
the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple;
the precepts of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart;
the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes;
the fear of the LORD is clean, enduring forever;
the rules of the LORD are true, and righteous altogether.
More to be desired are they than gold, even much fine gold;
sweeter also than honey and dripping of the honeycomb.
Moreover, by them is your servant warned;
in keeping them there is great reward."
------------------------------Psalm 19:7-11------------------------------------
