This is the day.

THE HEART OF GOD.

Genesis 8:21 And the LORD smelled a sweet savour; and the LORD said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake; for the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth; neither will I again smite any more every thing living, as I have done.

This is the second time God's heart is mentioned in the Bible, and we can see that He has been satisfied by the sacrifice of Noah after the flood. This is a great thought! God's heart is pleased by sacrifice. Read Romans 12:1-2 for a New Testament challenge to the way we are to sacrifice to God! God promised the world He would never again judge the earth by destroying all living things. What a difference a sacrifice will make! God has stated that all men are wicked, and that there is no hope for mankind outside of Him, yet He has also prepared the way for each and every one of us to be reconciled to Him. The step we must take is to offer a sacrifice to Him (ourselves). God is merciful, and if you want to touch his heart present yourelf as a sacrifice to Him. Half-heartedness on our parts will send the world around us to Hell. God is great, we should put forth an effort to serve Him with our whole hearts!
