Day 2:  Looking at the promises of God throughout Scripture that relate to our family.

Genesis 6:8 "But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord."
Genesis 7:1  "And the Lord said unto Noah, 'Come thou and all thy house into the Ark; for thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation.'"

Because of Noah's obedience to God and his right living, his entire household was saved from destruction.  This account gives us a glimpse into the character of God.  His ways are not always easy to understand.  However, throughout Scripture we see the fact that God's principles regarding family are set in order.  Once His pattern of dealing with the family was set--it continues throughout His Word.  He is a God that does not change.  Noah's family gained access to the safety of the ark because of his example of obedience and righteousness--which they followed.

Our "Ark of Safety" is redemption through the cross of Calvary.  As we accept Jesus' sacrifice for our sins and follow Him in obedience and right living--we can claim our "house" to be saved.  Our example will speak to our generation, just as Noah's did to his sons, his wife, and daughters-in-law.  In prayer and intercession we can call upon our Savior, Jesus Christ, to draw our loved ones--by the Holy Spirit.  Yes, they have to accept Christ's provision, (just as Noah's family entered the Ark), you cannot do it for them...but as we trace the many promises of God throughout the Bible--you will see that we have the power of God's Word behind our claim that our "house" will be saved!
