The Faith of Noah

More thoughts from Genesis

The faith Noah's is staggering. First of all, he is building a boat of epic proportions on dry land and filling it with animals. If that isn't enough of a test, Gen 7:10 tells us that God had Noah enter the ark SEVEN days before the flood waters came. Imagine those first six days inside that ark with no rain. Imagine Noah's self doubt. Imagine the smell. Imagine the attitudes of those on the inside who had trusted Noah. Do you think they doubted or questioned Noah? Imagine the ridicule of those on the outside, standing on dry land. Do you think Noah could hear their laughter? But Noah stayed the course. He held firm. Faith? You'd better believe it.
