Noah Builds an Ark

Noah had faith. So he built an ark to save his family. He built it because of his great respect for God. God had warned him about things that could not yet be seen. . . . Because of his faith he was considered right with God.-Hebrews 11:7 NIrV

The story of Noah’s Ark is a well-known story from the Book of Genesis. You may have heard it at church or read it in one of your Bible storybooks. Perhaps you drew a picture of the ark with giraffe heads peeking out of the windows. God told a man named Noah to build a huge ark for him and his family. God also told Noah to take two of every animal and bring them into the ark. That’s why the ark had to be big!

This story takes place many years after God created the world. The people had turned away from God and no longer listened to Him. Genesis 6:6 says that God was sorry He put people on the earth. He decided to wash everything away in a flood except for Noah and his family because Noah loved and obeyed God.

Noah believed what God said even though he didn’t understand everything. Noah built the ark just like God told him to. When Noah finished the ark, he and his family went inside. The pairs of animals went into the ark, too. Then God closed the door. The rain poured down and flooded the earth. The ark kept Noah, his family, and the animals safe because Noah had faith in God.

Do you know how Jesus is like the ark? Jesus can keep us safe, too. When bad things happen in the world, we can trust in Jesus to help us. Jesus protects us from danger just like God protected Noah from the flood.

It takes faith to believe because, like Noah, we don’t always understand everything in our world. The next time you hear the story of Noah and the ark, remember that God keeps us safe. We can be like Noah and trust and obey God.
