For
the Noahs, this was a real Do-It-Yourself cruise. How many of you have ever
gone camping with the family or taken one of those vacations where you rent a
condo for the week? If you are like most wives and mothers, you packed, you
cooked, you picked up after everyone, and you may have even had to clean and do
the laundry. Can we imagine it was any different for Mrs. Noah?
First
there was all the rain. That at least floated the boat but there wasn’t much
opportunity for lounging in the sun on the deck. And incidentally, all those
passengers needed looking after. What do you do with a seasick elephant?—give
him lots of room. And what about those rabbits that seemed to be mathematically
precocious? Where was she going to put them all?
Yes,
it was a real adventure and I’m sure Mrs. Noah was happy to see the top of Mt. Ararat appear in the distance as the sun broke through once again. Incidentally,
the forty night cruise turned into 150 days before they set foot on dry land.
That’s an around the world cruise today!
I’ll
bet she was glad to see the cruise end but at the same time, what an amazing
journey—an adventure unlike any other. Something to tell her grandchildren
about for years to come—As a matter of fact the story is still being told. It
was truly an adventure of faith.
If
you were to ask Mrs. Noah, she’d tell you:
Adventures of a
spiritual nature often come in unusual and unique ways.
Remember,
as you sail on in your spiritual adventure, to ask Jesus to calm the storms.
Know that God is there wherever your journey may take you.
