Noah believed what seemed improbable, impossible. There was no sea where Noah laid the ark keel. He was bidden by the Lord to construct a sea-going vessel on dry land. O mad old man! Faith which believes in the probable is anybody's faith. Faith which believes that which is barely possible is in better form. Faith which cares nothing for probability or possibility, but rests alone in the Word of the Lord, is the faith I seek. God deserves such faith, "for with God all things are possible."
Living Faith
Noah was surrounded by people who wanted to dissaude and detract him from following God's call in his life. Noah acted in faith to God's call even though what he was called to do went against common sense and the "rules". Noah ran his race with the intent to win. He did not worry about public opinion. We can look at Noah's life for guidance when it seems we are the only ones walking a certain path; running an only course. We are not alone in our faith. God will always be there to guide and help through life's many storms and trials. An active and living faith can at times require actions that may seem new and uncomfortable, but the rewards are eternal.
