—Genesis 7:11-16
by: Dorothy Noel.
Imagine for a minute you were Noah’s neighbor. You already hate him for building a massive boat that’s blocking the light from your growing bean sprouts. And now all these animals you have never seen before are trotting on by. He tells you it is God’s work, but why would you believe him now? He has been saying that for years! God’s methods often do not make sense to us—not before the flood and not in Christ’s death and resurrection. But that is the point. It is God’s work, not ours. God has been working and will continue to work beyond our understanding. You are not alone when you do not understand why.
