“But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD.” Gen. 6:8

Genesis 6:8

“But blessed are your eyes, for they see, and your ears, for they hear. For truly, I say to you, many prophets and righteous people longed to see what you see, and did not see it, and to hear what you hear, and did not hear it.”

Matthew 13:16-17

What do you see when you look into another’s eyes? If you are farther away, you might see their emotion. As it has been said, ‘the eyes are the window to the soul.” And if you are close enough, you will see a reflection of yourself. When Noah looked into the eyes of the LORD, He found grace there–grace for him, grace for his family, and grace for the whole of humanity.

He had a revelation of the grace of God. It had nothing to do with what Noah had done or had not done, nothing to with whether he had a corrupted lineage. God looks at the heart, and Noah saw the righteousness and purity of himself through the eyes of the LORD.

After he had this revelation, he walked with God. He acted in accordance with God’s will and vision and built an ark that would preserve and protect LIFE. This is what a revelation of the LORD does for us. It brings LIFE. He shows us who we really are. He shows us the grace He has poured out on us, the love He has for us. He shows us that He never thought less of us, though we thought less of ourselves.

Look into the eyes of Your Saviour; there is grace to be found there for you too!
