“This is the account of Noah and his family. Noah was a righteous man, the only blameless person living on earth at the time, and he walked in close fellowship with God.” (Genesis‬ ‭6:9‬ ‭NLT‬‬)

- What was it about Noah that made him so different?

- What was it about him that sent him apart?

- It was a time when the world was described as corrupt and evil.

- Genesis 6:11 &12 says, “Now God saw that the earth had become corrupt and was filled with violence. God observed all this corruption in the world, for everyone on earth was corrupt.”

- Everyone was so evil that God was going to destroy the world with a flood.

- But one guy stood out.

- One man made a huge difference

- And the difference he made came out of his walk

- He is described as walking in close fellowship with God

- That one word, “close”, makes a big difference.

- Those that you walk closest to are the ones that shape and mold you

- You become like them.

- You begin to imitate them.

- “...he walked in close fellowship with God.”

- But that one, little word, “close”, makes all the difference.

- So how would you describe your walk?

- Is it a close walk or is there some distance?

- Today, you are as close to God as you want to be.

- The choice is yours.

- Choose to walk close.

- Choose to spend time in His Word, First!

- Choose to pray and talk with Him, First!

- Choose to look for His activity around you.

- Let your walk change you.

- Let your walk shape you

- Let what He loves become the thing that you love

- Let His desires become your desires!

- And that is how you change the world!

- That one word - CLOSE.

- Out of that closeness, He separated himself from the world and drew himself close to God.

- And out of that closeness, God said, “I’ve got a guy.”

- God has a guy through whom he could save the world!

- Choose today, to be that guy or girl!

- Have a great Weekend!
