Noah [Hebrews 11 ]

As we consider certain things in the Bible,we may struggle to accept it literally, the miracles, the virgin birth, Jonah and the great fish, and of course the story of Noah, and the great flood, that covered the earth. How do you think Noah felt,what did he think?,well ,we are not told, but what we are told is this, Noah acted in faith, [ Hebrews 11v7 ]. Like Noah,many people in the Bible when told by God, to do certain things , things that they intellectually would have struggled with, obeyed, how?, by faith, let me stress that these people were no different, to modern man, [ James 5 v17 ]but they rose above their human reasoning,and exercised faith, and obeyed God. If God speaks to us, commanding us to do a certain thing , then we are called to obey, by faith, ours is to not reason why,ours is but to obey. [ God we come to You by faith, we confess that we struggle to live by faith, struggle to accept certain things in your word, forgive us, help us to cast of our unbelieving thoughts, and to rise in faith and obey You in all things, we ask this in the name of Jesus, Amen ]
