where is the water??

today... I had a friend remind me that Noah was a drunk... and while he was... God tells him to build an ark... God gives him very specific instructions on what size it was supposed to be and what it was made out of and what would be put in it.... there had not been any rain in FOREVER.... Noah worked on his ark for 100 years... did you hear me?? 100 years of building an ark with no sign of rain whatsoever.... now many of the townspeople believed that Noah was drunk and heard some other spirit talking to him... and they didn't believe the rain was coming... and so they were not prepared... on top of that part, they weren't even told about the rain... so they made fun of him and thought he was a loon....

THEN... after the ark is ready... (is your ark ready??) then God moves the animals in... (not sure how that part relates.. but pretty sure it does...) and still... no sign of rain... God shuts up the ark... closes the door.. do we know how long Noah was inside the ark with all the animals without the rain? I don't know... it would have to be some bible scholar to tell us that one... (if you are out there, please comment...) THEN... the rain comes down... and everyone not believing and not prepared dies from the storm and the flooding...

I don't know about you... but I get tired of building this ark some days... I get tired of not seeing what I hear... I get tired of no one but me hearing from God and believing in unison... BUT... I have no intention of being out here, unprepared and drowning... so.... until the flood comes, I will continue to build this crazy ark and live up in it with all the animals... and one day, God really will bring the water down in torrents... will the people of God be prepared? will they accept the will of God that is not the will of man? or will they be destroyed? we all have our own ark to build, but my ark is no bigger or better than yours is... your ark is important in the kingdom of God... continue to build on the days that it does not look like rain.. because sure enough... the water will come one day....
listen....
