I Am Not Ashamed To Follow God

In Genesis there are many stories portrayed such as Abraham sacrificing his son Isaac or the story of Cain killing Abel but the story of Noah stands out to many. The story starts as God explaining his plan to wipe out the whole face of humanity for he was sorry that he had made man. However in chapter six of Genesis it says,” But Noah found grace in the eye’s of the lord.” Starting out Noah was given commands to build an ark. Little did he know that God had exact plans for this. He was to build it out of gopherwood; the ark was to have lower second, third and decks. It was to be covered inside and out in pitch. The length was to be three hundred cubits, the width of fifty cubits and the height thirty cubits. It was to have all that breathes the breath of life on it. Even through all of this as he was building it he was definitely questioned on what he was doing because rain was not yet seen.In Genesis 7:11 it says,”in the sixth hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, on that day all the fountains of the great deep were broken up, and the windows of heaven were open.” Therefore Noah had faith in God that he believed something not yet seen. Such as us christians have faith that God is real and that his son is coming back one day. Noah was not ashamed to believe what God had said and built the ark even though what God had spoken of was not yet seen by man. Noah listened to all of God’s instructions he did not settle to only do a few things. Sometimes in life when we are told something we only pick out a few things to do and we settle for what we think of as good enough, Noah did not settle he built the ark and its entirety exactly the way God had instructed that he do, Noah brought every beast and creeping thing on the ark as God had instructed and Noah did this all without having ever seen what God had told him was to come. Noah was steady in his faith and was not ashamed to follow God even through the doubts there may have been. Noah shows us that we should not settle to what we take as good enough. we should do all that god commands and not be ashamed to stand up against adversity.
