Scripture: Genesis 7:5-16
Song: Standing On The Promises
120 years Noah preached without a single response to his message of coming judgment (2 Peter 2:5). And you say we live in bad times?
Twelve decades the patriarch labored on a vessel to escape a disaster the world had never before witnessed. And the quest to build your life on the foundation of unseen events and distant promises seems a challenge to you?
One century plus twenty years the man who found grace in the eyes of the Lord worked alone. So you’re tired? Frustrated that no one seems interested in the project? Convinced that your hardship is a sign of the Lord’s disinterest in you?
The Lord asked Noah when he was 500 years old to begin building the ark. You think it’s time for you to retire from service in the kingdom? Is it time for the younger generation to take over?
Day one in the ark: rain… Forecast day twenty-two: thunderstorms… Day thirty-four: showers… Day forty: more precipitation. And you had a bad day?
One year and ten days Noah dwelt with his family in a veritable floating barn. And you feel cramped in your present quarters? You feel like you’re getting nowhere fast?
We need to visit men of faith like Noah. We need to sit in their homes and converse with them often. Their stories were written for our learning.
