Thought #5…
5. God told Noah to build an ark not a ship. (Gen. 6:14)
Have you ever wondered why God had Noah build an ark not a ship?
An ark is basically a floating box. A ship has sails, oars and rudders.
I think that God wanted Noah to drift. He wanted Noah to just be along for the ride.
Noah wasn’t the captain of the ship; he was the captive of the ark.
Many times we want to be the captain of the ship. We want to be in control at every moment.
We have to let God be in control of the ark (method).
We have to be his captive to the mission and realize that we are just along for the ride.
