Reflection:
Humans often think they are invincible. They can do as they please and there will be no consequences of their actions or deeds. This passage reminds us that this is not so. We are observed and there will be an accounting for our activities.
Lent is traditionally the time we give up something as a form of penance for our selfishness and egocentric activities of the past year. I suspect there are not many of us, who could be described like this “Noah found favour in the sight of the Lord”. As we prepare to journey through the desert in the next 6 weeks, let us focus less on what we have done wrong, and focus more on what we can do to enrich our relationships with God and each other. This way our desert experience will sustain and strengthen us rather than tire us.
Are you more comfortable looking back at the past or are you prepared to look at the present and forward to the future?
