Day 3

Years ago, our family watched the animated movie Chicken Little.  In that movie the lead character, Chicken Little, warns everyone in town that the sky is falling. Of course, he is ridiculed for taking a stand on this issue.  I think Noah may have felt somewhat like Chicken Little.  2 Peter 2:5 says that, “Noah warned the world of God’s righteous judgment.”  Can you imagine the response Noah would have received from these wicked people?
Noah had faith in God.  He was unfazed by the critics.  He was undaunted by the challenge of building such a large boat (without the help of Home Depot!).  Noah was the only one who heeded God’s warning.  Noah acted in faith.  He didn’t need God to prove anything.  He believed in God’s Word and acted accordingly.
Are you willing to listen to God’s Word and act accordingly?  Or are you still waiting for God to prove himself?  Exercising faith means to take God at His Word and act appropriately.  May you be doers of the Word and not merely hearers of it.
