In Genesis chapter 6 we find GOD helping Noah survive.
And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth. Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch.
GOD told Noah that he was fed up with how evil man has become.
He had given them chance after chance to change their ways and come back to him.
All GOD has ever wanted from the beginning of creation is to have someone that he could walk and talk in the cool of the day with.
We were the ones that messed up.
But even though we had failed him, he still wants us to want him back.
He wants us to be as in love with him as he is with us.
Instead of destroying humans completely he chose to save one family.
Now let’s get at my message.
Noah was tasked to build an ARK.
An ARK is a container that is sealed to protect what is inside.
We compare the Noah ARK to the Moses ARK in that it protected what was inside.
Until it rested at the right spot and then was opened to let the people or person inside a chance to come out and reconnect with GOD.
Noah was not a boat builder but he trusted GOD.
Moses mom wasn’t a watercraft builder but she trusted GOD.
Today the things that we are going thru and have gone thru is part of our building our ARK.
Our Christian ARK that GOD has helped us build.
It is a spiritual container that will when time is right, carry us safely to Jesus.
Taking us protected to our new home.
Every time that you do what GOD has asked of you.
Every time you allow GOD to shine thru you.
Every time you tell someone that the end is near to repent, GOD is with you.
We know that Noah preached to all who passed by to see his large watercraft that wasn’t near the water.
To come make fun of the crazy man with a end of days message for the world.
Noah went thru all of those people laughing and putting him down as he pleaded with them to repent and join him in this safe vessel.
To be saved from Hell.
When we are doing GOD’s will he will provide us with the things needed to build for ourselves something that will protect us.
I guess my thoughts are not all coming out how it’s in my heart.
I feel that each struggle and challenge that we go thru is us building our own ARK and that will be what protects us in trouble.
If you are not working on something that GOD has instructed you to do then when trouble hits what shelter do you have he can place you in?
Point being we are all given a task or something to do for the kingdom of GOD.
When you do your part then you are doing GOD’s will and that is building on the ARK of protection that is there in times of trouble.
How far is your ARK in completion?
We know it took Noah close to 100 years to finish his, so no rush on construction.
Just be working towards completion.
Be Blessed.
