Our Scripture reading today is Genesis 6:22, "Thus did Noah; according to all that God commanded him, so did he."
The Word of God records for us that Noah did everything God told him to do. Wow!! Noah was given a very difficult task of building a structure that had never been built before. Noah was given a message to preach that was not received by anyone except his own family. “The work of building the ark was laborious, costly, tedious, dangerous, and seemingly foolish and ridiculous; especially when all things continued in the same posture and safety for so many scores of years together; whereby Noah, without doubt, was all that while the song of the drunkards, and the sport of the wits of that age. So it is not strange that this is mentioned as an heroic act of faith.” (Poole)
Our walk with God would see an immediate improvement if we would simply obey God. We are told elsewhere in Scripture that obedience is better than sacrifice. Take a few moments today to ask God to show you the area or areas of your life that you need to yield to Him and start being an obedient child.
