Yeah, Yeah, Yeah

Genesis 6:22
Thus did Noah; according to all that God commanded him, so did he.

Imagine being on the earth during the days of Noah. Come on now, it's not that hard. It is very similar to our days that we live in. More than the waters that were about to come, sin had flooded the earth like never before. Men and women were evil. So much that their thoughts were continually upon evil.

While God still searched the earth with his eyes of grace, they landed upon Noah. Then it happened, Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord. God told Noah that He was going to put an end to this evil world with a flood. He told Noah to build an ark. God left no detail up for question. He gave specific instructions and dimensions. He even told what type of wood to use and how to finish it with pitch.

What if Noah would have said, "God, this is crazy and way to hard"? If Noah would have rejected the word of God not only would he have died but he would have taken his whole family with him. No, Noah determined in his heart that God was right. He surrendered to God's plan and built the ark exactly how he was told. "Thus did Noah; according to all that God commanded him, so did he."

God is speaking to you right now. He gives you specific instructions for your life. It's called His Will. It's His plan for you. Are you listening to God? Many of us would answer yes to that question. We all say we are listening to God. What if Noah only listened? "Yeah, yeah, yeah, I hear you.... Make it so big...make it so long...I'll get to it."

By FAITH Noah built the ark. He did everything God commanded him to do. I love how it emphasized it twice. "Thus did Noah;...so did he." Are you doing everything God has told you? Are you surrendered to His plan for your life? Or do you find yourself saying, "Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'll get to it"?
