God Wants Me to Be Faithful

Following God's instructions
Genesis 6:12-14, 22

Read the Bible through:
AM -
Esther 3-6 : PM - Acts 9:23-43

Make yourself an ark of gopherwood; make rooms in the ark, and cover it inside and outside with pitch
(Gen. 6:14).

God knew Noah would follow His instructions. Noah's previous obedience earned him the special assignment to build the ark. Noah obeyed every instruction.

God's specific instructions for Noah indicated how God wanted to care for His children. Noah's response was continued obedience. God wants us to follow Noah's example.

God give us instructions for our assigned tasks. The Bible provides His instructions for teaching, parenting, ministering, and assuming responsibility in other areas.

The key, however, to following God's instructions is our commitment to obey God. This attitude of commitment is a powerful internal motivator to glorify God in all we do and say each day.

Just like Noah, we can follow God's instructions with obedience and joy.

Lord, guide me to listen to and follow Your instructions.
