Genesis 6:8-9
But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord.
Noah Pleases God
This is the genealogy of Noah. Noah was a just man, perfect in his generations. Noah walked with God.
Genesis 9:25
So Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done to him. Then he said:
“Cursed be Canaan;
A servant of servants
He shall be to his brethren.”
1 Peter 3:20-21
who formerly were disobedient, when once the Divine long suffering waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was being prepared, in which a few, that is, eight souls, were saved through water.
There is also an anti type which now saves us—baptism (not the removal of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God), through the resurrection of Jesus Christ,
To do Right
Learn to do right! Seek justice, encourage the oppressed. - Isaiah 1:17
We find it easy to be incensed when wrong is done to a friend. We are ready to fight injustice when someone we love has been wronged. However, God reminds us that our worship means little if we do not also protect those who are weak, marginalized, oppressed, and forgotten.
It's not just our friends who need our help; it's also those who have no friends who need us. "To do right" doesn't just mean being a good person and avoiding evil in our sanctified little enclaves; it also means to care, comfort, and encourage those no one else wants to notice.

. If you aspire to be a person of consolation…to share the priestly gift of sympathy…to go beyond giving commonplace comfort to a heart that is tempted, and if you long to go through life with the kind of tact that never inflicts pain, then you must be prepared to pay the price for a costly education—for like Christ, you must suffer. - Frederick William Robertson
