When once we understand this blessed truth and by faith accept God's word "You have I seen righteous before Me in this generation," we shall be able to value the word that follows: "Go into the ark, you and your whole family." The seed of the righteous shall be blessed; the house of His servant God will bless. God gives the assurance that the ark in which the parent is to be saved is meant for his children too; it is for them as much as for him...The parent has to bring the children into the ark....There is room for your child in the ark. The God who saves you expects you to bring your child with you. It is no longer enough to pray and hope that your child may be saved. Accept in faith the assurance that he can be, and act out in obedience the command that you are to bring him in with you...
...Go in and live in the ark; bring up and train your children there, wholly separated from the world. God's blessing will use this training for their salvation...
...O God, give me grace, like Your servant Noah, to so walk with You that You see me righteous - to believe the promise of Your grace, to obey Your command and perform the work entrusted to me, that Your blessing may abide on me and on my children. And may it all be to the glory of Your holy name. Amen.

Thank you for this, Leigh. Thank you. Even though it wasn't for me... but rather for my darling niece... it blessed me beyond words. I love you.
