I’m intrigued by the life of Noah. I should do a study on him. I struggle with my faith, or, more to the point, my faithfulness. And I’m a young soul! In the days of Noah, the Lord saw how evil the hearts of man had become. He looked for righteousness and found only Noah.
Noah was a righteous man, blameless among the people of his time, and he walked with God.
I have read that it took Noah a while to build the ark. Longer than I will be alive. We talk about how wicked the world is currently. I sense that we know nothing of wickedness as seen in Noah’s days. So, here is Noah, some several hundreds of years old, doing his thing, the thing that God called him to do. And all around him. I mean ALL around him are people who are completely wicked. Do you think he was ridiculed? And here I find it “difficult” to live a blameless life in world that could be seen as much “easier” than the time of Noah.
That said, I feel like God is working in my soul. I am often the main cause of sabotage to His plans in my life. He certainly extends a great amount of grace. More than I deserve. Unfortunately, I am so impatient. And then there’s Noah… Am I blameless? Am I that faithful? Not trying to be self-depricating!
I can only strive to this. To which we end for now:
Noah did everything just as God commanded him.
