Genesis 6:9-22
Noah listened well. When God spoke to him, he paid attention. Genesis tells us that Noah" walked with God." What a beautiful way to say that Noah lived each day with an awareness of God's presence. Beyond that, however, Noah also obeyed. What God told him to do, he did. Noah obeyed even though God directed him to do something outlandish. How many insults, jokes, and sarcastic questions he must have endured. Yet he kept on task, obeying God's instructions. Today it is hard for us as a Christian to just say we are a Christian. We hide it or fear that our friends will call us Bible thumpers. Well, let me be the first to be called that for my Lord's sake. God has your back, He will be with you even when family, friends, and coworkers don't understand your faith or your walk with the LORD.
Prayer is more than talking to God. While that is vital, too many of us give God our list of requests and then dash off to our next task. What would our lives be like if we took the time not only to talk to God but to listen to Him as well? What if we then determined to obey what He tells us to do --- no matter how much our society might scoff at us?
Do you want to walk with God? Thin in your prayer time, listen carefully for His voice. You may just hear Him leading you in a new direction, with a new purpose, and with courage, you never knew you had!
