Genesis 8:15 & 16 Then God said to Noah, Come out of the ark, you and your wife and your sons and their wives.
In the final step of fleeing the evil of the times, God told Noah and his family to come out of the last remnant of the old evil world. When they did, they saw a completely new land made pure by the washing of God's hand. Noah took the right sacrifice and placed it on the altar and offered it to the Lord. What lie ahead for this family was a new beginning, a chance to start over.
A and K, God has given each of us a chance to start over. He calls us to "come out" of the world and its ways and be separate (2 Cor. 6:17). God washes you by the blood of his son, but you have the responsibility to leave the ark, to leave the past behind; those evil connections that keep you from living differently in the new land he has prepared for you on this earth.
Girls, Noah offered a worthy sacrifice. His family was thankful to God for choosing and protecting them from destruction. God will do this for you as well, if you chose righteousness over evil and the narrow road over earthly pleasures. Come out and leave the world behind.
