Verse 1
I searched the world but it couldn't fill me
Man's empty praise and treasures that fade
Are never enough
Then You came along and put me back together
And every desire is now satisfied here in Your love
Chorus
Oh there's nothing better than You
There's nothing better than You
Lord there's nothing
Nothing is better than You
Verse 2
I'm not afraid to show You my weakness
My failures and flaws
Lord You've seen them all
And You still call me friend
'Cause the God of the mountain
Is the God of the valley
And there's not a place
Your mercy and grace won't find me again
Bridge
You turn mourning to dancing
You give beauty for ashes
You turn shame into glory
You're the only one who can
You turn graves into gardens
You turn bones into armies
You turn seas into highways
You're the only one who can

Verse 1
Be Thou my Vision O Lord of my heart
Naught be all else to me save that Thou art
Thou my best thought by day or by night
Waking or sleeping Thy presence my light
Be Thou my Wisdom and Thou my true Word
I ever with Thee and Thou with me Lord
Thou my great Father I Thy true son
Thou in me dwelling and I with Thee one
High King of heaven my victory won
May I reach heaven's joys bright heaven's Sun
Heart of my own heart whatever befall
Still be my Vision O Ruler of all
Be Thou my Vision

Verse 1
I love You Lord
Oh Your mercy never fails me
All my days
I've been held in Your hands
From the moment that I wake up
Until I lay my head
I will sing of the goodness of God
All my life You have been faithful
All my life You have been so so good
With every breath that I am able
I will sing of the goodness of God
I love Your voice
You have led me through the fire
In darkest night
You are close like no other
I've known You as a father
I've known You as a friend
I have lived in the goodness of God
Your goodness is running after
It’s running after me
Your goodness is running after
It’s running after me
With my life laid down
I’m surrendered now
I give You everything
Your goodness is running after
It's running after me

__________________________
INSPIRATION
As Jesus sought for a way to explain his return, he hearkened back to the flood of Noah. Parallels are obvious. A message of judgment was proclaimed then. It is proclaimed still. People didn’t listen then. They refuse to listen today. Noah was sent to save the faithful. Christ was sent to do the same. A flood of water came then. A flood of fire will come next. Noah built a safe place out of wood. Jesus made a safe place with the cross. Those who believed hid in the ark. Those who believe are hidden in Christ. Most important, what God did in Noah’s generation, he will do at Christ’s return. He will pronounce a universal, irreversible judgment. A judgment in which grace is revealed, rewards are unveiled, and the impenitent are punished. As you read the story of Noah, you won’t find the word judgment. But you will find ample evidence of one. The era of Noah was a sad one. “Now the earth was corrupt in God’s sight and was full of violence” (Genesis 6:11). Such rebellion broke the heart of God. “His heart was deeply troubled” (verse 6). He sent a flood, a mighty purging flood, upon the earth. The skies rained for forty days. “[The waters] rose greatly on the earth, and all the high mountains under the entire heavens were covered” (7:19). Only Noah, his family, and the animals on the ark escaped. Everyone else perished. God didn’t slam the gavel on the bench, but he did close the door of the ark. According to Jesus: “That is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man” (Matthew 24:39). And so a judgment was rendered. Talk about a thought that stirs anxiety! Just the term judgment day conjures up images of tiny people at the base of a huge bench. On the top of the bench is a book and behind the bench is God and from God comes a voice of judgment—Guilty! Gulp. We are supposed to encourage each other with these words? How can the judgment stir anything except panic? For the unprepared, it can’t. But for the follower of Jesus who understands the judgment—the hour is not to be dreaded.
(From When Christ Comes by Max Lucado.)
REACTION
7. Imagine yourself in Noah’s situation. How would you have responded to God?
8. In what ways does obedience to God often require a step of faith?
9. Why is it sometimes difficult to lean into the implications directed by God's Spirit?
11. How can your obedience to God have an influence on others?
12. What attitudes are typical of people whose obedience to God you greatly respect?
LIFE LESSONS
Moses invites us into the very heart of God when he tells us the Lord’s heart “was deeply troubled” because of the sin of humankind (Genesis 6:6). Sin had so infested everything about humanity—both inside and out—that the Lord ultimately decided he needed to start over with Noah and his family. Notice the Bible doesn’t say that God was pleased with this outcome or that he felt any form of vengefulness or wrath toward the human race. Rather, we read that God experienced deep pain as he mourned over the sinfulness that affected his beloved creation. It was for this same reason that God would send Jesus, “who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God” (2 Corinthians 5:21).
DEVOTION
Sometimes, Father, you ask us to do things that we don’t understand. We question, hesitate, and struggle to obey you. Today, we pray that you would draw us closer to you so we will have the confidence to take that step of faith and do as you ask.
