| Our verse to DATE the Word on July 5 (7/5) is Genesis 7:5. Genesis 7:5 says, “And Noah did according to all that the LORD commanded him.” A FAITH that WENT TO WORK It has been said there are three types of people. Some people wonder what happened. Some people watch others make things happen and then there are those people who work and make things happen. Which one are you? Noah worked and made things happen! Without a doubt, Noah is one of the great people of FAITH. God gave Noah instructions to build an ark (massive boat/ship) as it was going to start raining and the earth was going to be flooded. Noah, having never seen an ark, much less build one, or rain or a flood moved forward by faith and obeyed God, doing exactly what God said. The Hall of Faith writer included Noah in his list because of this action. Take a quick look at Hebrews 11:7. Hebrews 11:7 says, “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.” While there was vile wickedness all around the world God saw Noah. Upon assigning Noah with the building of an ark God saw working by faith! God saw Noah obeying all that He commanded him to do! He saw Noah making things happen! While it took time to complete Noah never stopped. By faith, he and his family were saved as the rain came and flooded the earth. Today you may be working on something BY FAITH and so far, you are not seeing anything come of the work. Keep on WORKING BY FAITH! Keep obeying God by FAITH. Remember that you will reap in due season! Keep sowing the seeds of the gospel!! Keep planting God’s Word in people’s hearts! Keep on WORKING BY FAITH!! Verse to DATE the Word on July 5 (7/5) is Genesis 7:5. It says, “And Noah did according to all that the LORD commanded him.” Let us quit wondering what is happening and quit watching what is happening and start working by faith to make things happen! BTW – Doors of opportunity swing on the hinges of obedience. Continue Strong WORKING by FAITH, And remember to DATE the Word |
