NOAH was asked to build a boat.

God said to Noah: “I’m going to put an end to all people, for the earth is filled with violence because of them.

I’m going to destroy both them and the earth. So make yourself an Ark …” (Genesis 6) Knowing that God was going to destroy people and the earth must have been a lot to take on board and carry around. I wonder how Noah reacted to his neighbour when he bumped into him putting the rubbish out at night?

We know what the Ark looks like, we’ve seen the pictures! But it would have been completely new to Noah. God gave some pretty specific instructions regarding dimensions and materials that Noah had to follow without question.

It is even possible that Noah may not have even seen rain before. And yet, God commanded him to build a boat. I think I might have felt just a little bit silly if it were me!

What is God asking you to do? Is it really such a big ask? If Noah managed it, I’m sure you can too!
