Faith receives rewards

Hebrews 11:7

Noah built a big boat through his faith in order to save his family from the deluge. He obeyed God, who warned him about things that had never happened before. Noah with his faith warned the rest of the world, and he received the righteousness that comes through faith.

God spoke to Noah, and told Him to build a large boat. Noah obeyed without question, he followed every instruction that God gave him. He built the big boat out of faith to save his family and two of every animal from the flood. He listened to God's warnings about things that had never happened before. Noah's faith condemned the rest of the world. The Lord closed the door on the boat. The flood came and swept it all away.

For as were the days of Noah, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.  Like it was in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day when Noah entered the ark,  and they were unaware until the flood came and swept them all away, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. I have come with faith, to provide this news to you. 

It's not too late.  Draw near to God and He will draw near to you.

 

Let's pray,

Lord, 

I know Noah had a saving faith. It prompted him to listen and obey, honoring You through his obedience and even compelling You to consider it righteousness.

I desire to have that type of saving trust.

 Help me and  to be dedicated and committed to You on a daily basis. Help me to honor You, obey You, and follow in the footsteps of Jesus. Aid me in detaching myself from worldly ways while striving to hear Your warnings. Living in your righteousness. Thank you for gift of salvation for me. I desire to have that type of saving grace and faith.

In the name of Jesus, Amen.
