Cancer Treatments

Genesis 6:11-22

How could God destroy His creation? He made it all and He loved it all - how could He do it?

This is not what God wanted - what He wanted was the fellowship, the peace, the closeness of the garden. He wanted us to share our best moments with Him. But sadly, most of mankind thought only about evil. It must have been oppressive - the utter corruption. Think of the meanest, nastiest person you can, then think about that person living for hundreds of years, just getting meaner and nastier every day. Now imagine that every person you meet is like that. Something had to be done. It was a cancer - a disease that was destroying God's beautiful creation.

The only hope for this place was to cut the cancer out - to start anew. Unless the cancer was eradicated, there would be no survivors. There was still hope though, there was one man and his family that maintained a relationship with God. They were the planets only healthy "cells" in a sea of cancerous corruption.

God did save His creation; He preserved the possibility for all of us to walk with Him again in the cool of the evening. If He hadn't sent the flood, if He hadn't cut out the cancer, none of us alive today would have that opportunity. I am so thankful He made the hard choice, the difficult decision that has brought us back to Him.
