God doesn’t call us to do something, then abandon us mid-task. Think on that.
It took Noah many, many, many years to build this boat. Scripture doesn’t say that he worked on it the whole 120 years. Maybe he took a few years to take a break. Maybe he didn’t. But whether Noah took breaks or not, God’s call was ALWAYS on his life. He didn’t call Noah half-way into this process then tell him “Nah, fam. Nevermind. You’re taking too long.” And God’s plan would not be shaken, even with Noah’s shortcomings. God knew, planned and orchestrated it all.
And what people said about Noah? Unimportant. God’s plan didn’t change.
And the details of the moment, that it had never produced significant quantities of water prior to this moment? Also unimportant. God’s plan didn’t change.
That’s what God is trying to remind us today as we look at his word. He loves you and his plan for you has not changed. He KNOWS where you will fall short. And that’s okay. His plan has already accounted for that. Will you be faithful to God’s call? Will you step back onto the path of faith that he etched into your ground?
