Messianic Jewish Counseling Devotional for Couples on Parashat Noach
Walking Together in Covenant
Parashat Noach (Bereshit/Genesis 6:9–11:32)
Theme: “Finding Grace in the Midst of the Flood”
Listen to your Devotional HERE
Scripture Focus:
“But Noach found grace in the eyes of Ad-nai. “Bereshit / Genesis 6:8
Devotional Reflection:
When the world around Noach was filled with corruption and violence, he chose a different path one of obedience, quiet faith, and perseverance. He and his family entered the ark together, trusting in the unseen promises of G-d. Every marriage will face “flood seasons”, times of chaos, pressure, or misunderstanding. The covenant is not about avoiding the storm but about building an ark together. Couples who listen to G-d’s voice and build according to His pattern can endure any deluge. The ark represents Yeshua Himself, our safe place, our covenant covering. Just as the wood of the ark carried Noach and his family through the waters, so the wood of the cross carries us through sin, pain, and fear into new life.
Messianic Jewish Counseling Insight:
Healthy marriages are not built in the absence of storms but through faithful construction, one plank of forgiveness, one beam of trust, one nail of prayer at a time. Grace is the sealant that keeps the waters out.
For Reflection Together:
- What “storms” have we weathered, and how has G-d’s grace sustained us?
- What does “building our ark” look like today, spiritually, emotionally, practically?
- How can we show grace to each other when one of us is struggling to keep faith?
Closing Prayer:
Ad-nai, thank You for the covering of grace we find in Yeshua. Teach us to build our marriage according to Your design, plank by plank, prayer by prayer. May our home become an ark of safety, peace, and faithfulness, a refuge where Your presence dwells. B’shem Yeshua HaMashiach, Amen.
