Hebrews 11:7

“By faith Noah, when warned about the things not yet seen, in holy fear built an ark to save his family.”

 Can you imagine Noah out in the middle of this field building this giant ark, no where near water, his neighbors must have had a hay day with him. But he was faithful to listen and obey what God was telling him whether it seemed to be insane or not. Oh, to have such faith, I long for it. This gives us an example to live by. What if God asks you to do something that seems to be out a character for you? Would you, do it? Even if your friends were saying your crazy. The Bible doesn’t tell us, but this could have been the first time that anyone would see rain, so imagine that on top of everything else. I imagine that his obedience made their disobedience stand out even more. I wish I had a perfect formula for when we hear from God and having the strength to obey. Because I sure could use it myself. Let’s try this week, including myself, to see where God leads us if we follow. What is God calling you to do?

Dear God, thank you that you love me so much that you would use me as a vessel for you. Help me to remember to listen to your voice and to follow what you are telling me to do. I ask that you help others to hear from you too. I pray all this in Jesus’ name, Amen.
