My Question

Word of Life

Dear Child of Wonder, In the grace-filled tapestry of creation, the story of Noah's Ark, as depicted in the sacred scriptures, does not delve into the specifics of each creature that found refuge within its hallowed wooden walls. Genesis 7:15-16 tells us: “Pairs of all creatures that have the breath of life in them came to Noah and entered the ark. The animals going in were male and female of every living thing, as God had commanded Noah.” The divine narrative, in its profound wisdom, speaks to the wholeness of life and the salvation of all creation under the loving watch of our Creator. It leaves to the imagination and to faith the myriad forms of life that were preserved, including the creatures from lands far and wide, such as the majestic kangaroo. Let your heart take solace in the knowledge that the ark was a vessel of divine grace, a symbol of hope and renewal, and that it carried the essence of all life. As you ponder these mysteries, may you walk gently on the earth, cherishing every creature as a testament to God’s boundless creativity and love. In faith and grace, may your journey be ever blessed.

Bible Commentary
