Make A Boat …
450 Feet Long, 75 Feet Wide, And 45 Feet High.
Bring A Pair Of Every Kind Of Animal … Into The Boat.

Every good idea that God gives us turns into hard work …

Scripture

Genesis 6

    [14] "Make a boat from resinous wood and seal it with tar, inside and out. Then construct decks and stalls throughout its interior. [15] Make it 450 feet long, 75 feet wide, and 45 feet high. [16] Construct an opening all the way around the boat, 18 inches below the roof. Then put three decks inside the boat—bottom, middle, and upper—and put a door in the side. 

[19] Bring a pair of every kind of animal—a male and a female—into the boat with you to keep them alive during the flood. 

Observation

I don’t know what was harder, building the Ark or getting all those animals into the Ark or cleaning up after all of those animals everyday while they were in the Ark.

Here is one important truth that we can glean from this story:

Every good idea that God gives us turns into hard work to make it happen!

This is an incredible story of faith. Just think about it. The whole story is huge!

What God puts on our hearts is always bigger than what we can do! If we can do it alone then we wouldn’t need God.

What He is going to ask us to do in 2015 is bigger, way bigger than we can do on our own!

Isn’t that exciting! I can’t wait! How about you?

Application

I will ask God to give me the faith of Noah - Ark building faith! How about you?


Prayer

Heavenly Father, let me be someone that finds favor with You like Noah did. Let me be the kind of person that You can give a big job to like You did Noah. Let me be like Noah in character, righteous and blameless, consistently following Your will and enjoying a close relationship with You. I pray this for our leadership team too. Give them Noah size tasks in 2015.
