Genesis 7:5 And Noah did all that the Lord had commanded him.
The story of Noah and the ark is one we all know pretty well. Whether it's the children's movie version or the mural painted on our church nursery wall or the new movie and some it's controversy. We know about Noah and his pair of all animals (or is it a pair of some and seven pair of others - depends on which verse you read). We know he went on the boat, survived the flood, and came out afterward and saw a rainbow.
But in all those details I think we sometimes lose the most important thing. We can lose the forest for the trees. And this is the forest: Noah did all that the Lord had commanded him. That's what we should remember from this story and the inspiration we should take from Noah. He did everything that was commanded of him.
In Christ,
Pastor Seth
