—Hebrews 11:7-12
by: Jerry Johnson.
Have you ever wondered what Noah went through during the 120 years it took to build the ark? He was in a dry region, locked by land, without the remotest possibility of a flood that could ever float this huge vessel God told him to build. I am sure that many mocked him, while others thought he was plain crazy to perform such an undertaking. Or consider Abraham and Sarah, well beyond childbearing ability. Imagine the reaction of those around them to the news of her pregnancy. Both cases represent faith that does not depend upon sight, demonstrating complete confidence in the trustworthiness of God. How do we do in believing his promises to us?
