Remember, We are only in the beginning of sorrow as stated in Matthew 24:8.
If this only the beginning of sorrows what does the middle and end look like.
In Genesis 5:13 the end came up before the Lord in the first book we don’t stand a chance. In the first 5 chapters, we couldn’t even make it to 10th chapter or the 10th book. The wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. Is the Bible talking about our days?
Truly, we are in the Days of Noah that states “And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. And it repented the Lord that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart. And the Lord said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them. But Noah found But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord”. Genesis 6:5-8 KJV
I firmly believe that WE are this world’s Noah and finding grace, fluency, and favor in the in the eyes of the Lord in impact this world for Christ.
We have what takes.
We have Him – the Word of God on the inside.
We have the whole heavenly host backing us.
Please don’t forget the fact that we have the Presence of God who is the Holy Spirit sent to comfort us.
In addition, daily we are loaded up with benefits.
We put on the whole armor of God and our instructions are to stand still and see the salvation of the Lord.
We don’t have to be in the fight, but stand still. We don’t have to March just stand still.
The word salvation means rescue, release, renew, restore and refresh. With the Lord being our buckler and our shield, no matter the situation, no matter the circumstances, no matter the trouble, no matter the problem, no matter the outcome, no matter the what the Lord will rescue, release, renew, restore and refresh.
Since we are in the days of Noah, and we are in the beginning of sorrows; we have grace in the sight of the Lord that He will and is rescuing, releasing, renewing, restoring and refreshing us as we put our trust in Him, the Lord.
“For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.” Philippians 2:13 KJV

Scripture used
Matthew 24:37-39 – KJV But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
All these are the beginning of sorrows. Matthew 24:8 KJV
And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.
Genesis 6:13 KJV
