Genesis 6:14 Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch. 5 And this is the fashion which thou shalt make it of: The length of the ark shall be three hundred cubits, the breadth of it fifty cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits.
Very specific measurements were given to Noah for the building of the ark, and not one of those details could be left out or disregarded, for then, Noah’s expectation of protection from the flood would be dashed in pieces. Three hundred cubits means three cubits and three stories means three stories, and nothing else.
Thus, Noah’s faith in the promises of God converge with his obedience to what God had told him, and the rest is history. As he sat within the ark with his entire family, he could be confident that God would fulfill His part, for he did everything God told him to do, all his ducks were in a neat row, and therefore, he would be sheltered when the storm comes.
In our day, many persons may claim the promises of God, and may look forward with an anticipation and expectation for deliverance, that is not tethered to obedience and because of this, serious difficulties make manifest that they may not have built upon The Rock, but upon the sand.
Matthew 7:26 And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand. 27 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
