Noah
did what God said to do. He did everything exactly as he was told to do it.
(Genesis 6:22)
Think
of the great stories of the Bible. You may recall Noah’s story, or Moses and
the Exodus. These, and other epics that tell of how God has worked in human
history to change peoples’ lives, all share a common trait. Each story includes
a man or a woman who had enough faith and courage to choose to trust the Lord
and do what He told them to do.
Can
you imagine the people mocking and laughing at Noah each day as he worked on a
ship that was longer than a football field, while he was explaining that a flood
would come? Think of the conversations he must have had with his wife and sons
as they questioned him. But, Noah continued – because he trusted God. God’s
instruction very often does not make sense to the people who receive it. It
almost never makes sense to the world around them. However, doing what the Lord
says to do is how a follower must respond when God speaks. Obedience is the
action of one who really trusts God.
Chose
to be obedient today. When God’s Holy Spirit speaks to you, do what He says to
do. Let Him write a new story with your life.
