Will you trust Me enough to build an ark before the flood comes?

To Noah (Genesis 6–9)

—“But Noah found Grace in the eyes of the Lord” (Genesis 6:8, KJV)—is a powerful declaration of divine favor in the midst of widespread corruption.

What It Reveals Spiritually

- Grace precedes the flood: Before judgment came, Grace was extended. God’s mercy always makes the first move.
- Noah’s walk mattered: Verse 9 follows with, “Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God.” His life wasn’t flawless, but it was faithful.
- Grace leads to purpose: Because Noah found Grace, he was entrusted with a divine mission—to build, to warn, and to preserve life.

🔥 In a world filled with noise, violence, and distraction, God still looks for those who walk with Him. Grace isn’t earned—it’s received. But it’s also responded to. Noah didn’t just receive Frace; he acted on it. He built the ark. He obeyed. He trusted.

For families and young hearts, this is a call to live in such a way that God’s Grace finds us ready—not perfect, but willing.

Please remember, God didn’t ask Noah direct questions in the narrative, He gave detailed instructions and entered into covenant dialogue. The implicit question was: “Will you trust Me enough to build an ark before the flood comes?”

🌊 Reflection: Trusting the Lord in Every Season

Imagine Noah, hammering away at the ark while the skies were still clear. No rain. No flood. Just faith. That’s the kind of trust God invites us into—not just when things make sense, but especially when they don’t.

Trusting the Lord isn’t passive—it’s active obedience in the face of uncertainty. It’s saying “yes” to God before the outcome is visible. For families, it means praying together even when answers feel delayed. For teenagers, it’s choosing integrity when peer pressure screams otherwise. For kids, it’s believing God hears their prayers—even the small ones.

From Scripture:
- Proverbs 3:5–6 – “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight.”
- Psalm 56:3–4 – “When I am afraid, I put my trust in you. In God, whose word I praise—in God I trust and am not afraid.”
- Isaiah 26:4 – “Trust in the Lord forever, for the Lord, the Lord himself, is the Rock eternal.”


🗣️ TD Jakes:
- “Never make a permanent decision based on a temporary storm. No matter how raging the billows are today, remind yourself: ‘This too shall pass!’”
- “God is not preparing the blessing for you, He is preparing you for the blessing.”

🗣️ Billy Graham:
- “God’s hand never slips. He never makes a mistake. His every move is for our own good and for our ultimate good.”
- “The cure to worry is trust—trust in God, and trust in His love and protection.”

✅ Summary Points

- Trust is a choice—made before the outcome is clear, modeled by Noah and echoed throughout Scripture.
- Faith grows through storms—as TD Jakes reminds us, God uses trials to shape us for greater things.
- God’s character is trustworthy—Billy Graham affirms that God never fails, even when life feels uncertain.

At the altar, our destiny is altered

At the altar, our destiny is altered... Reference-  Job 37:23-24 MSG “Mighty God! Far beyond our reach!     Unsurpassable in Power and Justice!     It’s unthinkable that HE would treat anyone unfairly. So bow to HIM in deep reverence, one and all!     If you’re wise, you’ll most certainly worship HIM.” God is unfolding His story in His own way. The Sovereign and Supreme Ruler is in control of everyone, everything, and everywhere, and the accuser must seek His permission before acting against us. He sees us as His own, and we belong to Him just as He belongs to us. As Job said, God can do all things, and no purpose of His can be stopped (42:2). The Just and Righteous Judge – Our God is fundamentally just, and it’s unthinkable that He would treat anyone unfairly. His rule and governance are righteous, even if at times our eyes, ears, and hearts may not fully understand. The source of all wisdom and revelation is God , whose knowledge is complete unlike ...

God's way is the Power

God's way is God's Power Reference- 1 Cor 4:20 MSG -  God’s Way is not a matter of mere talk; it’s an empowered life!! In 1 Corinthians, Paul speaks to a divided church where some were proud, eloquent, and believed they were spiritually superior because of their words and wisdom. He contrasts this human pride with the true power of God, shown in the cross, in changed lives, and in the work of the Spirit, the God's Power. It’s an empowered life—God’s ways are the true power, not found in mere talk, endless words, idle chatter, or impressive responses built on layers of discussion. It is a life empowered by the power of His Spirit, the presence of the Holy Spirit. It is power that breaks chains, sets us free, anoints us, and creates new opportunities, fresh paths, flourishing streams, divine strategies, abundant life, and limitless expansion. Paul didn’t ask the Corinthians to be practical . It’s not about having everything, but about having Him alongside others. That’s why h...

Efforts that counts...

Efforts that counts... Reference- 2 Ch 17  Context: King Jehoshaphat was a seeker and follower of the God of his father and was obedient to HIM; he wasn’t like Israel (at that time, Ahab was ruling Israel). And God secured the kingdom under his rule, gave him a firm grip on it. And everyone in Judah showed their appreciation by bringing gifts. Jehoshaphat ended up very rich and much honoured. Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone - Apostle James in 2:17 Efforts that showed his intention to Seek and Keep Him: Sticking to the ways of Asa (his godly father). Rejecting Baal — non-conformity to the ungodly culture. Removing high places and Asherah poles. This is personal reformation — the king putting his own house in order spiritually. Efforts that enabled others to Seek and Keep Him: Building defences — not just military, but spiritual covering. Sending teachers throughout Judah with the “Book of the Revelation of God” (likely the Torah or existing OT Scriptures). ...
