Then Noah built an altar to the LORD
and, taking some of all the clean animals and clean birds, he sacrificed burnt
offerings on it. The LORD smelled the pleasing aroma and said in his heart:
"Never again will I curse the ground because of man, even though every
inclination of his heart is evil from childhood. And never again will I destroy
all living creatures, as I have done. "As long as the earth endures,
seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night will
never cease." (Genesis 8:20-22)
Off to a fresh start. Noah and his family were beginning anew after the flood. They all must have had their own share of stories to tell their children and grand children later on. Stories of 'before the flood' and stories of their sojourn in the ark.
Sometimes we get stuck in a rut and desire to begin anew or desire a change. If you are praying for a fresh beginning, perhaps a new job, a change of place to live or any other thing, it's good to place the matter at the Lord's feet and seek his guidance. And when he gives the go ahead, it's time to step out in faith.
There's no point in wasting time placing still another fleece in the presence of the Lord when he has already spoken twice or thrice. It's time to act. The Lord is always willing to help us with fresh beginnings.
God strengthened Noah by giving him and his family promises for a wonderful future.

Then God blessed Noah and his sons,
saying to them, "Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the earth.
The fear and dread of you will fall upon all the beasts of the earth and all
the birds of the air, upon every creature that moves along the ground, and upon
all the fish of the sea; they are given into your hands. (Genesis 9:1, 2)
His promises to you are also on
similar lines….blessings for you and your family. To sum it all up, here's a
verse from the book of Jeremiah.
For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. (Jeremiah 29:11)
Believe it. Step out in faith. And may Jesus bless you always.
