THE POWER OF WORSHIP

Because of faith, Noah obeyed God to build the ark according to God’s guidance, and with the ark Noah and his family were saved from the flood (Romans 1:7). I believe during the construction of the ark Noah faced a lot of obstacles and difficulties. Can we imagine how Noah brought the wood and big blocks to build the body of the ark when a motorized crane was not introduced in Noah’s time?  And moreover he needed to connect all the blocks and wood one by one. It takes a lot of perseverance and extra patience. No wonder the Bible says that Noah took 120 years to complete the ark.  

I do believe that Noah had to face mocking and negative comments from his neighbors. If only Noah didn’t set his heart to obey God, he may not have been able to complete the ark. After the water receded from the earth after the flood, the first thing Noah did was not something concerning his condition or his family or his livestock. Instead, he built an altar to The Lord and offered a burnt offering on the altar that pleased God. Because of Noah’s obedience and faith, God made a covenant that He will never again destroy man (Genesis 8:21). Until now we can see the evidence that, although the imagination of man’s heart is evil and the wickedness of man increases, God keeps His promise. 

Our sacrifice needs to be offered righteously. It will be pleasing to God and He will bless us.

Because of Noah’s obedience and faith, his family and himself received grace from God!
