Gods Smile in Obedience

"Because of faith, Noah built an ark in the middle of dry land ... .. (Hebrews 11:7).
Imagine this situation: One day God came to Noah and said, "I'm disappointed with mankind. Around the world, no one except you are thinking of me. But Noah, when I saw you, I began to smile. I'm happy with your life, so I'll cover the world with the flood and start over with your family. I want you to build a giant boat that will save you and the animals. "
There are three problems that can lead to Noah hesitated.

First, Noah had never seen rain, because before the flood, God irrigate the earth from the bottom of the earth (Genesis 2:5).
Second, Noah lived hundreds of miles from the nearest ocean. Although he could learn to build an ark, how could she take him to the water?
Third, there is a problem in collecting all the animals and then keep it.

But Noah did not complain or make excuses. He trusted God completely, and it makes God terseyum. Trusting God completely means having faith that He knows what is best for our lives. We hope that he keep His promises, to help us in every problem and do the impossible if necessary.
The Bible says, "God's love to those who fear Him, to those who expect to His steadfast love (Psalm 147:11). Noah takes 120 years to build the ark. We imagine that he faced many a long day, without any sign of rain year after year. They rudely criticize him as' a madman who thinks that God spoke to him.

We imagine the children of Noah are often embarrassed by the giant boat being built in front of them, but Noah still believes in God. Believing is an act of worship, just as parents pleased when the children believe their love and wisdom, our faith makes God happy. The Bible says without faith no one is willing or pleasing God ... (Hebrews 11:6).

Save the population of animals from the flood all over the world require greater attention to the logistics and details. Everything must be done just as God set. And Noah was obedient, he obeyed exactly (in a way and time that God wants to be the ark was finished).

If God asks us to build a big boat, we might have some questions, objections, or reluctance. But Noah did not, he obeyed God with all your heart, it means doing anything that God asked without reluctance and hesitation.
God does not owe us an explanation or reason for everything that He asks us to do. Understanding can wait, but obedience can not, obedience will soon teach us about God than a lifetime of Bible discussions.
