Noah Saves

Somewhere, in the twinkling of a star laced ceiling, where soft lavender fabrics and cushy pillows line warm areas of comfort, a young baby sighs. And in a gentle blink of an exhausted eye, they catch a familiar and safe glimpse of the loving arms rocking them to sleep. And as they drift slowly into a peaceful relaxation, they open their eyes one last time. Their eyes meet the soft glow of a night light, nestled gently in the corner of the room. And on it. . . A boat, with hipster styled animals standing confidently together, as they commemorate a profound story. 

 

In fact, all throughout the room, lies hints of Noah, and his merry band of travelers. 

 

This nursery isn’t unique. In fact, choirs of nurseries around the world, echo this same theme.

 

If you aren’t familiar with this story, It comes from the book of Genesis. 

 

It’s a story of Noah, and his faithfulness to God. 

 

IN a time when all men sought out selfish ambition, 

 

And only did evil - all the time. 

 

Noah desired what was right. 

 

What happened next, is one of the most controversial stories in the Bible. 

 

God instructs Noah to build an ark. And then bringing his family and a remnant of animals on board with him, God closes the doors. And then rain floods the earth and destroys every living thing that remained outside the boat. 

 

Why? 

 

Why did God do that? 

 

Now the interesting thing about your answer to that question, is that it says more about how you view God, than it does anything else.
