Still reflecting on Noah and his faith. Wow, we think this story is just for us as children but as we really delve into his faith, I am wondering myself if I could have followed God's direction for so many years. Even as I thought , " how did all the animals get into the ark...... Well God orchestrated it all. God told all the animals to line up two by two... can you picture it.? I can't. Imagine that they all lived peacefully in the ark together..... wow .... the lion and the lamb. Where did Noah get all the food for himself , family and all the animals to stay so long in the ark ? Now when I get to heaven that is something I want to ask Noah.
This morning as I was thinking ,Noah had revelation from God in how to build the ark --- the size, shape , one door one window, etc. And yes he had faith to believe what God said so faith and revelation go to together but to take it a step further , Noah had to have faith to believe and put his belief into action. It was not enough that he had revelation and faith to believe but he had to act. Faith without works is dead.
The little song this morning that God gave me goes like this ...... But I know in whom I am believed and am persuaded that He is able to keep that which I've committed unto Him until that day.
