Serving God Whole-Heartedly
Do you love God and serve Him with your whole heart? Noah did and God used Him in an amazing way. If you want God to use you then walk with God whole-heartedly like Noah. Once He knows you will get the job done—the job is yours! God wants to use you in our days as He did Noah in his.

00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:09,320
Do you love God with your whole heart? Do you serve Him wholeheartedly? This week we're
2
00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:15,160
going to hear about someone who did and how He was rewarded for it. So welcome to this
3
00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:20,600
week's Shabbat Shalom devotional. I seek to share just a little inspiration and bring
4
00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:26,480
a little peace to the close of your very busy week. So we have begun reading through the
5
00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:31,840
Torah with the Jewish community. We'll go through it in the coming year. This is our
6
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:41,760
second week. So today's reading is from Genesis 6-9 through 11-32. And it's called Noah because
7
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:48,320
the very beginning of this chapter is about Noah. It's the account of Noah and his family
8
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:56,440
and that Noah was a righteous man. He was blameless. Let me read to you from Genesis 6-9.
9
00:00:56,440 --> 00:01:04,200
This is the account of Noah and his family. Noah was a righteous man, blameless or perfect,
10
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:12,400
among the people of his time, and he walked faithfully with God. So Noah was righteous,
11
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:18,040
which in Hebrew is tzadik. But he also, it says, was blameless. A lot of translations
12
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:26,760
say perfect. That word in Hebrew is tamiim. It means perfect or whole, not as in pure or
13
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:32,560
faultless. That means perfect in terms of its whole, its finished, its full. And it can
14
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:41,760
mean wholeheartedly. So Noah was a wholehearted kind of person and God knew that the job would
15
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:48,080
get done with Noah. He could count on Noah. And on that, Noah did obey God. He built the
16
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:55,800
ark and he saved a remnant of man and animals so that the earth could be repopulated after
17
00:01:55,800 --> 00:02:03,840
judgment. And then God made a covenant with Noah and with all the flesh on earth, it says,
18
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:10,560
and gave a sign to that covenant was the rainbow, the sign that never again would God bring
19
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:20,680
about a global flood, wiping out humanity. So the point is this. If you want God to use
20
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:27,920
you, you may be desirous of a closer relationship with God to be used in service to God. Well,
21
00:02:27,920 --> 00:02:36,040
then walk with God wholeheartedly like Noah. Once he knows, you'll get the job done. The
22
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:43,480
job is yours. You know, when I look at the world today, I fear that we are really near
23
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:50,800
another time like the times of Noah. The world seems to be spiraling out of control. I sense
24
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:58,200
the need for judgment on the evil that is just growing all around us. In fact, some
25
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:09,720
days I feel the raindrops begun. What we need today are Noah's. Are you one? And with that,
26
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:16,920
I just want to wish you a Shabbat Shalom. And please be sure and download our Torah Portions
27
00:03:16,920 --> 00:03:22,720
Chart so that each week you can read along with us. And then on Fridays, I'll share
28
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:29,360
just a little thought from this week's reading on Shabbat Shalom devotionals. So with that,
29
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:54,680
I say God bless.
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:09,320
Do you love God with your whole heart? Do you serve Him wholeheartedly? This week we're

00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:15,160
