“By faith [with confidence in God and His word] Noah, being warned by God about events not yet seen, in reverence prepared an ark for the salvation of his family. By this [act of obedience] he condemned the world and became an heir of the righteousness which comes by faith” Hebrews 11:7, Amplified.
Noah did what men in the world around him weren’t doing. He had a relationship with God. He had a heart after the Lord, and He heard His voice of instruction to do something. Up to that point, it had not rained on the earth, yet Noah heard God tell him to build an ark. He then walked by faith, obeyed God, and built an ark for him and his family to be saved from the flood to come.
Like Noah, as men being the head of our families, we ought to lead our family by our faith in God. He set the example for his family spiritually. He covered his family not only financially, but spiritually. He had his entire family on one accord helping to build something for God. He didn’t care about the persecution and ridicule from others around him. Noah wasn’t moved by the pressures of those that didn’t believe. He served the Lord.
Don’t be moved. Keep serving the Lord, and by faith, keep building. Build what is entirely centered on Jesus Christ to the saving of you and your household. Noah led his family by faith and seen God’s salvation and blessings, and so will you.
Prayer: Father, thank You for speaking to me to keep leading my family. As for me and my house, we will serve You. You are a good God. Above all, the ways to lead my family, help me lead them spiritually. Make my home centered on Jesus Christ. Make my home full of You. Help me build what is eternal to the saving of my household. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Study: Genesis 6:13-7:1, Matthew 24:38-39
