Good Morning!! Building an ark on dry ground was a witness to the unbelieving people of
Noah's time. Noah demonstrated his reverence for God by obeying him.
Noah persevered amidst ridicule for more than 120 years. And during that
time, he further showed his reverence for God and his love toward the
people by attempting to share his faith with his tormentors. Noah's eyes were on God,...not the failures, not the hopelessness of it
all, not the way people treated him. He reverenced God and kept his
focus on what God had told him to do, no matter what the circumstances.
As a result, God saved him and his family and used them to replenish the earth.
Trust in the Lord and do good; dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture. Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him and he will do this:—Psalm 37:3-5 (NIV)
Are you obeying God, and still not seeing the results you hoped for?
Don't give up! Keep your eyes on the Lord. Reverence God above your own
expectations. Obey Him,...even if you don't understand what you see. Focus
on what He has called you to do,...and trust Him for the rest. God's ways are definitely not our ways.
Respect God, and trust Him enough to know that His ways are the right ways. Seek His ways above all else.
Heavenly Father, sometimes we get so focused on our circumstances, that we become too easily discouraged. Help us keep our eyes on Jesus,...on Your love,...and on Your Word. We know that You will always work everything out for good,...and that Your timetable is is not the same as ours. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
"Grace is free,...but it's never cheap."
