Genesis 7:1 Then the Lord said to Noah, “Go into the ark, you and all your household, for I have seen that you are righteous before me in this generation. 2 Take with you seven pairs of all clean animals, the male and his mate, and a pair of the animals that are not clean, the male and his mate, 3 and seven pairs of the birds of the heavens also, male and female, to keep their offspring alive on the face of all the earth. 4 For in seven days I will send rain on the earth forty days and forty nights, and every living thing that I have made I will blot out from the face of the ground.” 5 And Noah did all that the Lord had commanded him.
Yesterday we saw that God said "Do", and Noah obeyed, following His directions for building the ark. Now it is time for Noah to go into it, taking all these animals with him. It sounds overwhelming - even getting them all collected and inside. It's a study in itself look at all the people to whom God said "Go." Obviously, God provides help when He calls us to do or go, but it is pointed out that Noah did all the Lord commanded. How often do we only go part way, doing only some of what God has instructed us?
