The second reason Noah pleased God was that he trusted God, even when it did not make sense; likewise the other people in the Bible who trusted God in the mist of opposition, because they knew that God never fail. God did not disappoint them for trusting in Him. by faith, Noah built a ship in the middle of the dry land, he was warned about something he could not see, and he acted on what he was told ….as a result, Noah became intimate with God. David defeated Goliat, Shedrack and his colleague were able to overcame the burning fire, Daniel was saved from lions den. Etc
Just imagine this scene: one day God comes to Noah and says “I am disappointed in human beings. In the entire world, no one but you think about me. But Noah, when I look at you I start smiling. I’m pleased with your life, so I’m going to flood the world and start over with your family. I want you to build a giant ship that will save you and the animals” Just as he told Moses when the people of Israel sinned against Him, he asked Moses that He want to wipe the people away and start over with him. There were three problems that could have caused Noah to doubt. First, Noah had never seen rain, because prior to the flood, God irrigated the earth from the ground up. Second, Noah lived hundreds of miles from the nearest ocean. Even if he could learn to build a ship, how would he get it to the water? Third, there was the problem of rounding up all the animals and caring for them. But Noah didn’t complain or make excuses. He trusted God completely, and that made God smile.
Trusting God completely means having faith that he knows that is best for your life. You expect him to keep his promises help you with problems, and do the impossible when necessary. The Bible says ‘He takes pleasure in those that honor Him; in those who trust in His constant love.”
It took Noah 120yrs to build the ark. Imagine how he would have faced as a result of obeying God. He may have faced many discouraging days, much mockery, he may have also faced with critics and so on, but in all this he did not give up. He kept on trusting God.
In what areas do you need to trust God completely? Remember, trusting is an act of worship .The Bible says “without faith it is impossible to please God”.
DON’T DIVERT YOUR BLESSING
