Genesis 8:15 Then God said to Noah, 16 “Go out from the ark, you and your wife, and your sons and your sons' wives with you. 17 Bring out with you every living thing that is with you of all flesh—birds and animals and every creeping thing that creeps on the earth—that they may swarm on the earth, and be fruitful and multiply on the earth.” 18 So Noah went out, and his sons and his wife and his sons' wives with him. 19 Every beast, every creeping thing, and every bird, everything that moves on the earth, went out by families from the ark.
We have seen the past two days that God told Noah to build the ark, then when to go into it. Noah did all God commanded. Now He told Him to go out. The residents of the ark may well have been claustrophobic after a year together there, but there may also have been a sense of comfort and security as they looked out onto a whole new world. Things were different than when and where they left them. Often missionaries have a hard time coming back to Western culture and all the changes that have taken place. The point is that we need to continue to listen to God instruct us for when to go in, out, to, or from. He has much more for us than we could ever imagine.
