Genesis 8:15-15, “Then God said to Noah, ‘Go out of the
ark…so that they may abound on the earth and be fruitful and multiply.’ So Noah
went out with….”
As we read and share the story of Noah, we often stop there
in complete amazement. And yet there is more. We often stop short of Your
purposes, Lord. Or I do. I sometimes reach a point, an experience that is so
amazing that I stop and stay.
Yet, You do not always call us to one plan, or one purpose
only. Sometimes there is another stepping-stone to take. Perhaps not for
ourselves, but maybe for another, that together we might be fruitful and
multiply. Despite the long years of building the ark, Noah’s work did not end
there; perhaps it only began there.
And if our destination is eternity, then we really do not
have an end, a stopping point. We are to be ready to follow, to take new
adventures, to accept new responsibilities each day.
Please help us to recognize and complete the task You
assign, and then be willing and prepared to be moved onward to the next. May it
be more important to stay the course with You than to linger with satisfaction
short of Your intent.
Psalm of Worship: Psalm 111:7-8
“The work of His hands are truth and justice; all His
precepts are sure.
They are upheld forever and ever; they are performed in
truth and uprightness.”
