Do YOU have Noah's Obedience??

One of the important messages we learn from the account of Noah and the ark is the value of faith obedience. For example, securing a year's supply of emergency food storage, as commanded by the Lord through our modern prophets, may be difficult during times of plenty because the need is not constantly pressed upon our minds by current circumstances. Therefore, it requires faith obedience to gather food storage.

Elder Spencer W. Kimball spoke of Noah and this principle, He taught:

"Paul, speaking to the Hebrews, said: By faith Noah being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house... (Hebrews 11:7).

"As yet there was no evidence of rain and flood. His people mocked and called him a fool. His preaching fell on deaf ears. His warnings were considered irrational. There was no precedent; never had it been known that a deluge could cover the earth. How foolish to build an ark on dry ground with the sun shining and life moving forward as usual!

But time ran out. The ark was finished. The floods came. The disobedient and rebellious were drowned. The miracle of the ark followed the faith manifested in its building" (Faith Precedes the Miracle, 5). Taken from The Old Testament study Guide by David J. Ridges, 198

May we have faith obedience in our day and prepare as we have been told by so many prophets. May we listen and obey! Not like the foolish in Noah's day who drown because of rebellious and disobedient disbelief. Love, Tammy
