—Genesis 7:1-5
by: Dorothy Noel.
God spoke to Noah. He provided the exact right information for that exact moment. There was nothing extra and there were certainly no clear next steps. There was no indication that God would eventually remove all the water. What if the plan was to start a new world that floated? What if God planned to save them from the flood only to let them perish on the ark? Noah did not know. Yet still, he acted. It is easy to move forward when we can see clearly the next steps or identify the potential outcomes. How willing are we to trust God and act when the future is entirely uncertain?
