Be prepared to serve God at any age. Noah was around 600 years old when he was asked to do something really big.
-
Pleasing God demands faith in His Word. It had never rained before when God commissioned Noah to build the ark.
-
Speed isn’t everything. It took over one hundred years to build the ark.
-
The flood was an act of God’s judgment, but He always offers grace first.
-
Never let the critics discourage or distract you. Just get on with the work you have been commissioned to do.
-
There will always be skeptics. Believe God’s Word and ignore the skeptics.
-
Always bear in mind that the ark was built by what some may call amateurs and the Titanic was built by experts.
-
God provides a way of salvation. Don’t miss the boat!
-
No matter what the storm, you are always safe when you are on God’s side.
-
Never be concerned about being in the minority. When Noah boarded the ark, he was in the minority, but when he got off the ark he was in the majority.
-
Beware: Noah’s drunkenness after the flood shows there can be great failure after great achievements.
-
Even though there will be times when we fail, the example we set can live forever as a source of warning and encouragement to others.
-
God provides for His people a way to begin again more intelligently.
-
Remember to take comfort in the fact that as believers in the body of Christ we are all in the same boat.
-
Unwavering faith is a key to leaving a great legacy.
-
Being of service to our Lord always demands faith and work.
-
Rainbows always serve to remind us of God’s faithfulness to keep His Word.
