Noah's Unsinkable Faith!!

This has been a blog that seems to have gotten alot of attention.  I felt led to post it again. I pray that God is glorified and many will be encouraged.
Bro. Tracy

Oswald Chambers writes, “Faith never knows where it is being led, but it loves and knows the One Who is leading.  It is a life of faith, not of intellect and reason, but a life of knowing Who makes us “go.”  Our response to God’s plan for our lives says a lot about our trust in God.   I have learned that we never have knowledge of every step we will be taking.  This is a blessing in that as we will rely on the Lord every step of the way we will grow closer and closer to the Lord.   His will can be accomplished and there will be a depth to our relationship.

I wasn’t saved until I was thirty-six years old.  I had no idea what faith was or what it even looked like. God put me through what I like to call faith boot camp, and I admit it was not easy.  I felt led to start a lawn care and odd jobs business.  The question that I seemed to be asked the most was what plan did I have for work in the winter.  I believed that I was in God’s will and that He would provide the work.  I had to completely trust the Lord for work week to week to pay the bills and have food to eat.   I could not see ahead of time the work that God had prepared for me and so I had to trust Him. It has been said, “The faith that hasn’t been tested can’t be trusted.”  The more God tested me the deeper I sunk my trust in Him.  God was faithful! I dug into God’s Word and that was where I found the substance of my faith (“So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God” Romans 10:17).  God’s Word told me He would never leave me nor forsake me (Hebrews 13:5). I look back on that winter as a great time that God taught me what it was to live by faith.  I cherish the memories of seeing God working so mightily.

Noah’s unsinkable faith was based on the fact that he had a word from God (read Genesis 6:8-22) and so Noah trusted God and was obedient to God.   God had warned Noah of an impending judgment in the form of a flood (a global flood) yet they may have never seen rain in Noah’s day.  The Bible says in Genesis 2:6 “But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground.”  Noah’s unsinkable faith was on display for all to see.   It wasn’t raining when the first beam was cut for the ark, but that did not detour this man’s faith in God.   Put down your binoculars and trust God.

I like the last line, "put down your binoculars and trust God"
