What would the neighbours say?
When God gives us a job to do, He gives us the means to do it as well. God gave Noah the instruction manual that he needed to build the ark. Noah preached repentance to the people but they ignored or scorned him. How difficult it must have been to remain faithful for so long, when all the circumstances in Noah’s life must have made him think twice about his project. God asks us to look beyond circumstances and look to Him instead. Hebrews 11:1 tells us that this is what faith is, relying on what God tells us rather than what we see. Sometimes God has us do what seems really quite against the status quo. Faith requires trust. Trust produces action. Noah didn't get hung up on what the neighbours were thinking! What about you?

Yeah.
Doesnt the bible say that in the last days it will be like the days of Noah? ..............
Hmmmmmmmmmm.
And Noah was the ONLY man upon the earth who God felt was worthy, because of his faith, (with His family) to save .....
In the last days generation then ............ will there be only one Noah worth saving.
Kinda contradicts the world view that mankind is getting better and better ........ Even some churches seem to follow the world view that people are evolving to a higher level.
The history of God destroying Noahs generation, and its equivalence to the last days generation gives us all some food for thought.
" What would the neighbours say?"
Hmmmmmmm. I really don't know!
The theme of the blog is just to say that if God gives you a task to complete then be faithful. The bible does say the last days will be "like" the days of Noah when people were is a state of ignorance to the truth yet we are also told that there would not be a repeat "flood judgement". The heart of God is that none would perish. As someone said, God doesn't send people to hell. He gives us all a choice. It is my prayer that the neighbours these days will say YES to Christ and be saved.
