S – When the Lord smelled the pleasing aroma, he said to himself, “I will never again curse the ground because of human beings, even though the inclination of the human heart is evil from youth onward. And I will never again strike down every living thing as I have done. 

Genesis 8:21 CSB

O –  Commentary:

Leaving the ark, Noah made a sacrifice to God, which was a pleasing aroma to Him. The people of God are a worshiping people, as Israel would learn, and that worship was to take the form of giving God some of the best of what was His. The redeemed of the Lord offer Him the praise of their lips (Heb. 13:15), the best of their possessions (Prov. 3:9), and the willingness and humility of their spirits. Noah received God’s grace, walked with God in obedience and righteousness, was preserved from judgment, entered a new age with people’s wickedness temporarily removed, and responded with worship and sacrifice.

After Noah made the sacrifice, God promised never to curse the ground in this way again. The continuity of seasons is evidence of God’s forbearance.

“Genesis,” in The Bible Knowledge Commentary: An Exposition of the Scriptures

A – Many times, we equate worship to just singing.  Worship are acts of reverence that honor God.  Noah’s act of worship changed moved God to never curse the ground or every living creature.  God wants us to worship him today in spirit and truth.

R – Heavenly Father, you are worthy of praise, honor and worship today. Thank you for loving us even when we are broken and born with evil in our heart.  The blood of Jesus covers our sins and allows us to walk in relationship with you.
