Lessons From Noah

By faith Noah...
Hebrews 11:7

You can make a difference in your family! Listen: "By faith Noah...built an ark to save his family." Noah's obedience to God didn't benefit just him, it also saved his family. It took him 100 years but he did it: andby God's grace you can win your family too.

You can make a difference at any age! Stop putting restrictions on yourself because of age. Noah was 500 years old when he started preaching and building the ark. It's not over until God says it's over!

You can make a difference for future generations! When Noah stepped out of the ark God used him to start the world all over again. Wow! Listen:"For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to Him" ( 2Chronicles 16:9 ).
God is still looking for people to partner with so that He can fulfil His purposes. But to qualify you must:

(a) dare tostand out in the crowd. Noah believed in his vision when nobody else did.Difference-makers are different. Don't let that bother you;

(b) dare todo things for the first time. Don't let the words "it's never been done before" keep you from doing what God asks. Folks said, "It's never rained before, who needs a boat?" But they were wrong and it cost them dearly;

(c) endure the rain to see the rainbow. So take your stand andbelieve God, for what He's promised you - He'll perform!
