To Build an ArkPosted Oct-12-07 05:52:57 PDT By faith Noah, when warned about things not yet seen, in holy fear built an ark to save his family. By his faith he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness that comes by faith.
Hebrews 11:7
Noah experienced rejection because he was different from his neighbors. God commanded him to build a huge boat in the middle of dry land, and although God's command seemed foolish, Noah obeyed. Noah's obedience made him appear strange to his neighbors, just as the new beliefs of Jewish Christians undoubtedly made them stand out. As you continue to obey God, do not be surprised if others regard you as "different," sometimes frighteningly so. Your obedience makes their disobedience stand out. Remember, if God asks you to do something, He will give you the necessary strength to carry out that task. He will be with you throughout the entire journey. He will not leave you, nor forsake you. That is His eternal promise.
God Bless you and,
JH
