When we think about Noah and the overwhelming task he carried out, we wonder how did he do it? It was simple. He just followed God’s plan. God instructed him each step of the way. God said build, come, go and Noah responded in faithful obedience. Note too that God was with him through it all. God had to go in the ark before Noah did or He couldn’t say “Come.” God had to have stayed with Noah or He couldn’t have ended the journey by saying “Go.” To us He says, “I am with you always” (Matt. 28:20). —Ken Gross
