Build a Boat

Noah-
He was very interesting. God called him at age 500 to build a boat that had never seen rain. He finished 100 years later, at age 600. And set sail for an entire year. Noah did not have a health insurance plan, vacation time, or any other mechanical forms of support that we carry today. Even though he was on a cruise for a year, it was not the type of cruise I would ever hope to purchase. Ever been to the zoo? Think of your worst day at the zoo, based on the smell, and multiply that times 365 days. That was Noah's experience with over 45,000 animals!!! What if they started procreating? What if Noah's shovel's broke? (for what?). Noah found favor in God's eyes. That favor was evident because of his close relationship with God (Gen 6:9). If you are going to build a boat, or anything else that might sustain you and others, make sure that you pitch it with a close relationship with God. Want to be used by God in a life altering way? Good. Build a Boat! Happy Birthday Noah you are 601 years old. Take the next 350 years relax-multiply!!! Noah died at age 950. What do you do that whole time? Time with God. Time well spent.
