It is hard to believe that God would grieve over something He created. This is exactly what we will see in our study today in how man became so evil that God would have  a plan to start anew. God is merciful, loving, kind but He is also Just! He cannot turn an eye from evil and not do something about it. The people in the days of our study we are told in V:5 that God saw the wickedness of man was great on the earth, and that every intent of his heart was only evil continually. We live in a world today that sees the same kind of people. God will judge this generation as well and it will be Jesus Christ who sets the standard. We need to turn to Jesus for forgiveness of our sins and make our hearts right before Him!
