A TEST OF FAITH #6

BLOG #61 - 6/25/2020

“By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith” (Hebrews 11:7, KJV)

When God calls us to do something, there are three different ways we can react:

            1. We may refuse to listen to His voice.

            2. We may be like Jonah who listened to His voice. However, he refused to obey.

            3. We may be like Noah who listened to His voice and obeyed.

           

When the ark was built nobody had ever seen a flood. Some people thought Noah was wasting his time building an ark. Some people thought he was crazy. Some people ridiculed him. Nevertheless, Noah was faithful to God’s calling. His faith in God influenced his family, and they were saved.  

The Lord God may be calling you to do something that seems ridiculous to others. You may refuse to listen to His voice. You may listen to His voice and refuse to obey Him, or you can listen to His voice and be obedient to Him. The decision you make will have negative or positive consequences on your life. It will also have a negative or positive influence on others.
