This, to me, is one of the most powerful verses in all of scripture. This is the moment in time that God the Father knew was coming, He is God, all powerful, all knowing, and nothing can surprise Him. This moment shows how much His love for us is. All the things that transpire from this point forward, the flood, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Moses, Joshua, Samuel, David, Solomon, all the way to Jesus, we see the heart felt hand of the Father, bringing about reconciliation, deliverance, and ultimately salvation for us. God knew that He was going to send Jesus to pay the price for our sin since the very beginning. I think that this verse in Genesis 6:6 is very honest. It grieved God the Father so much to set into motion the pain and suffering that would befall His creation and His son Jesus, yet. He loved us so much, that even at this early stage in the story, He was laying the foundations for our salvation. What a tremendous love that is!
