Hebrews 11:7 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.
Today let's focus on the phrase Noah "prepared an ark to the saving of his house;" After receiving God's message and adopting an attitude of reverence, Noah did something that many people don't do. He acted on the message. He obeyed the word he received. He verified his faith as genuine with the works that followed. How can we ever know that God will open up the windows of heaven and pour out blessings if we don't bring Him the tenth? How can we depend on seeing God's guaranteed provision of food and clothing if we do not seek first the kingdom of God? How can we know eternal life is real if we don't embrace Christ The Son? The message that comes from God is not given to inform and entertain us. The message requires an obedient response. Noah received a word to build a ship. He built it and his household was saved. We receive results from God when we act on the word of God. Work it out!
