Even the animals boarding two-by-two, he might have thought maybe we could leave out snakes or perhaps lions. In his human reasoning, maybe all the animals did not seem necessary.
But to his credit, he had mastered the task of hearing and being obedient to God even when the rest of the world thought he was crazy. My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord. As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts then your thoughts (Isaiah 55:8-9). If the Lord is asking you to do something today that seems hard, I would encourage you to do it. He has your days planned out for good and not for evil. He knew you in your mother’s womb.
He knows you better than you know yourself. You knows your beginning from your end. And is fully acquainted with your successes and your failures; and loves you just the same. His love cannot be purchased or negotiated, it is a free gift at salvation. Won’t you let the Lord love you today, won’t you trust his voice inside of you. You can place your trust in God, or place your trust in man. But no longer can you straddle the fence.
The Lord is asking that decisions and choices be made in this season. Some will seem easy and some much harder, but all are necessary. God is moving you into the fullness of who he created you to be. No more benchwarmers or Elijah’s in the cave. It is time to get in the game. And if you are an Elijah, it is your season to turnaround and face Jezebel head on. If God be for you, who dare be against you. Jesus looked at them intently and said, humanly speaking, it is impossible. But with God; all things are possible with God (Mark 10:27). Not some things, but all things. What are you believing God for today? Time to stand up, step out, and being noticed by the masses. If not you, then who? Who will go for me, who will work for me, who will harvest the fields for me.
If the righteous forsake me, who will I choose. He will deliver even one who is not innocent, who will be delivered through the cleanness of your hands (Job 22:30). You have heard the trumpet blast, the call to arms. The proclamation of a time for clean hands and a pure heart. If you keep yourself pure, you will be a special utensil for honorable use. Your life will be clean, and you will be ready for the master to use you for every good work (2 Timothy 2:21). For it is declared, You are a priest forever in the order of Melchizedek (Hebrews 7:17).
The bar is high, the trials unrelenting, the test vigorous. But you will make it, if you trust God. It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust man (Psalm 118:8). He is a high tower, a strong refuge in times of trouble. Those who believe, believe only in Me. I am the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending. Let all other things fade away. Place your faith squarely on me, and watch the enemy fade away.
Submit yourselves, therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you (James 4:7). Time to put the devil on the run, not the other way around. So when the Day of evil comes, stand firm and say this with me....My God Fights For Me!....
