Noah’s Building Plan

When ever I feel overwhelmed by what the Lord is asking me to do, I think about what Noah accomplished with zero knowledge of his task. It hadn’t even rained ever…yep, look it up…it had never rained. Imagine being asked to do something and knowing you have no clue on how to accomplish the task. Overwhelming would be an understatement.

That’s where we find ourselves these days. At times we are overwhelmed by all the Lord is asking us to do in our business and lives. He constantly stretching us, taking us to new heights. In doing so, I have found I don’t want to go back to where I was before. He stretches us so we can reach our potential, not what we see, but what He sees.

Is what the Lord asking you to do seem impossible…if so just remember, with God all things are possible. Matt 19:26 Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”

Noah’s Building Plan
TGIF Today God Is First Volume 2 by Os Hillman

“Noah did everything just as God commanded him” (Gen 6:22).
When God chooses to do something on the earth He uses a man or woman to accomplish it. It is a partnership that is very one sided. God got the worst part of the deal.

God got to a very bad place with the human race. He decided to start over. He was going to wipe out the entire population and begin afresh. He chose one man to place His entire strategy around. Can you imagine that? God placed His entire plan around one man. Why? Because He could trust him. The Bible says Noah did everything just as God commanded him. He didn’t argue with God. He didn’t take short cuts. He listened and he obeyed.

Who was this man Noah? “Noah was a righteous man, blameless among the people of his time, and he walked with God” (Gen 6:9-10). When it came time to execute God’s plan, He chose Noah to build a big boat. However, Noah had no idea what a boat was or how to build one. So, God told him how to build it. He gave him the dimensions; the height, width, space requirements – everything he needed to complete the task.

God will instruct us in performing our work too. God is in partnership with us in our working life. He has given us the tools, the creativity, and the drive to accomplish what He placed us on earth to do. That partnership requires us to listen to our senior partner though because He knows the exact way our project is to be done. And when you follow His direction that project will be excellent in every way.

“Thus says the LORD, your Redeemer, The Holy One of Israel: ‘I am the LORD your God, Who teaches you to profit, Who leads you by the way you should go'” (Isaiah 48:17).

Do you need God to show you how to succeed in your call? Ask for His wisdom and understanding. God says he will give it generously (James 1:5).
