JUST DO IT. NO EXCUSES
If there is someone that could have put excuses as to why not doing something, that could have been Noah. The Lord was asking him to execute a project that seemed insane, or like something that was only possible in science fiction movies; nevertheless, Noah did it.
Remember that in that time, it had never rained in the land and Noah didn’t even live close to the ocean, yet God gave him these strange instructions…
1. Build an ark with large dimensions.
Why? An ark had never been made. It had never rained on earth, neither did they live close to the ocean. Why was God asking him to do this?
What has God commanded you to do this 2017, that might seem senseless?
Don’t be afraid if God asks you to do something different, maybe something that your family or friends have never dared to do. Just do it. No excuses.
2. Take with you seven pairs of each kind of animal.
I don’t know about you, but I cannot handle rabbits, birds, serpents, or any kind of animal. How did Noah do this?
God is in control of what you and I don’t have control. We will face situations with our families and in our finances, that we might not be able to handle, but don’t be afraid, just obey and believe the Lord.
The Bible says: Jesus looked at them intently and said_
Think About It:
What will you do differently this year? Do you need to decide to pray every day, read His Word, give your offering, or serve your church?
What dreams were you holding back? What are you willing to do to reach them?
