Unfortunately, there is a pattern in humanity. Sin, judgement, grace, restoration, then more sin, judgement, grace, and restoration. Even though God had judged man’s sin by a flood, then extended grace to Noah, then restored the earth and entered a covenant of promise, sin entered into this new start in the form of Noah being drunk and his son looking on his nakedness. Noah judged his son for his actions, offering a curse.
Even in the midst of this seemingly immediate failure on the part of Noah and his son, there is a long list of descendents, some of whom were mighty men(Nimrod), pioneers(Babel, Erech, Accad, and Calneh who settled in Assyria), and many other great men who produced great families that repopulated the earth.
So, what is the moral of this story? No matter how many times you fall, get up again. An old adage goes, what boxer wins the fight even when he is knocked down? The one who keeps getting up! God will forgive and strengthen you if you will get up and ask Him for a new beginning, a fresh start, a chance to try again. No matter how many times Satan tries to knock you down, get up one more time, and God will give you the victory!
