For we walk by faith, not by sight. 2
Corinthians 5:7.
Noah was a righteous
man and he walked with God. When God warned him about the flood, he completely
believed God even though he never saw a visible sign of the flood. He built an
ark as God commanded him. Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence
of things not seen - Hebrews 11:1.
Romans
10:17 says, "So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of
God." Noah acted on faith by obeying to God’s word. By faith Noah, being divinely warned of
things not yet seen, moved with godly fear, prepared an ark for the saving of
his household, by which he condemned the world and became heir of the
righteousness which is according to faith - Hebrews 11:7.
Noah
did not see the situations around him as he walked in faith. He took a big step of faith
and built an ark. When we start walking in faith, we will start to see things in the
way God sees irrespective of the situations. God fulfilled His promises that He made to Noah. Only Noah and
those who were with him in the ark remained alive - Genesis 7:23.
PRAYER:
Dear Lord, Help us to walk in faith and not by sight. In Jesus name we pray.
Amen.
