TWENTY FEET + “
In Gen. 7:20 The Word tells us that God allowed the flood to cover the mountains by at least 20 + feet. Now that was NOT necessary, or was it?
Whatever God does is not accidental, but intentional. You ever heard about mountain goats? I could imagine that there were some other animals that could have climbed the mountains for safety. Some animals, some obstacles have a propensity toward skillful deceptions and craftiness. But 20 + feet allowed complete, comprehensive assurance of the death of every living thing-man and beast.
Now I know about being on a boat and riding deep waters. But sometimes, especially if you are in the waters of South Beach, there could be a rock that juts out and there goes your engine,the hull of your boat and YOU !
God allowed 20 + feet spacial difference between the highest mountain peak and the hull of the boat- LORD HAVE MERCY… I already feel a preechin’ comin’ on up in here, up in here.
May God allow you plenty distance, the security of comfort, and additional peace above the highest peaks of your enemy. May God allow you the 20 + feet of clearance,the security of peace, and comfort above your highest and greatest obstacle. May God allow you to float on the security, the peace and comfort of His promises to you.
You see, some obstacles sneak up on you. Some natural disasters just up on you and blind side you. They just seem to come out of nowhere. Some of your human enemies are crafty and might navigate the highest peaks of your patience, your blessings to damage your hull, your base, your God destined- foundation. Heaven knows you need the security, the comfort and peace of extra clearance.
And you know what, Noah did not even know about the extra grace of the 20 + feet. May God give you the spiritual and metaphorical comfort of 20 + feet today, and always.
May you experience this God of abundance, high clearance.
No wonder something deep on the inside caused Noah to offer a sweet smelling aromatic sacrifice to God when he embarked on dry ground.
Give God the Glory RIGHT NOW for your 20 feet.
