The story of Noah's life involves not one, but two great and tragic floods.The world in Noah's day was flooded with evil.
The number of those who remembered the God of creation, perfection & love had dwindled to just ONE.
When God told Noah that He was going to bring floods on the earth to destroy all the people, and every creature that had breath in it, Noah absolutely trusted in God’s word.
He did everything just as the Lord commanded him (Genesis 6: 22).
He did everything just as the Lord commanded him (Genesis 6: 22).
When Noah built the ark on dry land, there was not even the slightest sign of rain. The wicked people around him must have ridiculed him and many would have mocked at him.The unfavorable conditions around him would have made him thought in his hearts of heart whether he was doing the right thing or not.
But his faith in God was as solid as a rock. As he walked with God so closely, He knew for sure that his God would never lie, nor would He change His plans. So he went ahead with his task confidently not minding of what is going on around him.
And at last the day came when all the springs of the great deep burst forth and the floodgates of the heavens were opened (Genesis 7:11). But Noah and his family were safe inside the ark while all the creatures on the face of the earth perished.
There was heavy rain for forty days and forty nights. But even after the skies had stopped pouring, Noah and his family and all the livestock that were with him could not come out of the ark because the flood waters remained on the earth for a hundred and fifty days (Genesis 7: 24).
Noah’s faith was tested again.
But since Noah had seen the promise of the Lord fulfilled all through his life, he was sure that the Lord who took him through the flood would also bring him out of it.
And Genesis 8: 1 says, “God remembered Noah.”
Dear friends, when you are surrounded by problems which seem like mighty flood waters, do not doubt God and His promises. Remember that He is in control of all your situations. He will rescue you exactly at the right time. He will never delay even for a moment.
Trust Him and be sure that He will bring you through. Amen.
