Noah's Arc

July 19, 2012

I like this subject because it is so in your face with our obedience issues.  You see, if you are like me, you can most times be slow to move on what you have been instructed to do.  By that I mean when God shows you the way, points you in the direction and says go, we don't.  We sit and wait for more signs which will not necessarily come.  Fear or the comfort zone holds us back.  The truth is that we don't want to through the stuff that comes with the instruction.  Imagine how Noah felt when he was instructed to build an arc with no rain in sight and there had been none for many years.  His instruction to build an object that he had no clue of how to do it nor did he know what it was.  Imagine the thought process he went through and the mental negotiation with God before starting the task.  He was very aware of the ridicule from his peers way ahead, he just went forth anyway.  I am sure that he wanted to tuck his tail and run, but he didn't.  He stood on the word and what he was told and went forth.  All of the na'sayers stayed behind and got caught up in the flood.  With that know thar to be the victor you must earn the victory with obedience.  Don't hesitate to obey (no matter how crazy it may seem upon instruction) because in the end, you get the reward.
