ASEA WITH NOAH



Noah's only mentioned in Genesis. Yet his story is one of faith, endurance, and patience.



We've all felt uncomfortable is different settings. We've all felt that we stood out in the crowd or were so buried in the crowd that no one could find us. But can you imagine ever being in a world where only you and your family worshipped God?



Where God spoke directly to you? And told you to build a huge ark, 3 stories high, in the middle of a desert? And it would take you 120 years to build it?(Gen 6:3) We simply can't envision that scene. Yet time and time again God proves all things are possible through Him.



Including the animals instinctively going to the ark (Gen 6:20). And after 150 days of rain, which had never occurred before the Flood, and one year and 17 days at sea, Noah was let out of the ark. God Himself had shut Noah in the ark and he waited patiently for God's perfect timing before he was allowed to leave the ark.



There are so many applications of Noah and the Flood to us today. From Psalm 31:20, just allow God to shut you in and protect you from the things of this world that can harm you. But before He can shut you in, you must first come to Him. Don't wait. Even in Noah's time we're told that people were eating and drinking and getting married right up until the time of the Flood. Be ready: be right with God.
