When Did Noah Start Building The Ark?

Hi Everyone!
I was pondering this the other day and I thought I'd share it. When did Noah start building the ark? Answer; when God told him to. What would have happened if Noah hadn't listened? Answer; he wouldn't have been saved from the flood. Let's try to step back in time on this. What do you think the people around Noah said when he started building a huge boat on dry land when it, most likely, had never rained before. There is no doubt he must have been ridiculed, mocked and thought to be a nut job. Never the less, Noah sought to do God's will, he did not seek the approval of man.

What is God calling you to do that you are resisting, worrying about what the world will say? Are you putting the approval of man ahead of the will of God? Be bold for The Lord! Not bold? Ask Him for boldness. Worried about what people will say? Ask Him to take the anxiety away. Does your heart still crave the things of this world more than serving God? Ask Him to change the desires of your heart. You have not, because you ask not. People like to make that verse in to a name it and claim it prosperity message; the fact is, we need to seek first The Kingdom of God. We need to ask Him to give us a new heart with new desires, that is worth more than all the riches of the world.
