Trust in the Lord

Lord is my light

Overcome the storm

Jane Doe

My favorite ladies of the Bible are the nameless ones. The ladies that stood by their husbands, in such a humble way that they are only known as a wife of a well known husband.

The very first lady that gets my admiration is Noah wife. Its mentioned in the Bible that she made it on board of the Ark, and that she got off of it. But as I think of her and what kind of a woman that she must have been:

One busy afternoon her husband comes up to her and says" I had a revelation form God I must build a ship, there is a storm coming, God will flood the whole entire earth. But He chose to save our family."

Revelation from God? she might have thought. We are living in such a corrupt neighborhood. So many godless people. We have the murderers and rapists, thieves and lairs, witchcrafters, god slanderers and immortally sinful people all around us. How amazing that God has chosen my husband to do His works. God himself found us most worthy to be saved from the flood. God chose us to repopulate the earth. 

I wonder if she was scared? Did she tell her husband her fears? Or did she just submitted to him and accepted what God has chosen for them? 

Many woman of the Bible that were worth mentioning their names did something bad, like tricking their husbands, adultery, murder and lying. These woman come with names and we are very aware of them. They stand out like a sore thumb. But there is something different about Noah wife. It seams like she accepted her faith and silently trusted God to lead and to save her family. She believed her husband. Did not slander him in front of their children. Must have been supportive and helpful. She must have stood up for her husband when people came gathering around watching Noah and his sons building the Ark; they must have made fun of them and called them all kinds of crazies. She must have comforted her husband and encouraged him to follow God. She must have helped Noah look to Gods divine plan for them. And pray to God for protection and help.

When Noah told his sons about what God reveled to him. They too didn't argue with their father. But rather morning to night, faithfully trusting God, helped their father build this enormous boat.

What a wonderful example Noah wife is of a mother. Instilling into her children faith in God. Reverence for their father. Teaching them to follow God, no matter where He leads. Trusting God even when they don't fully understand what will happen next. 

Imagine knowing that God has a special plan for your family, That God will lead you through difficult obstacles in your life.That God has good intentions for you even if you need to suffer for a while. We get all that now. Jesus came to this earth to save us from us dying in our sin. Jesus came to save us from Hell and lead us into everlasting life with Him in Heaven. 

The Bible says in Romans 10:13    "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved."

Isaiah 55: 6-7 "6 Seek ye the Lord while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near:

7 Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the Lord, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.

God is giving you time now to find Him. No mattyer whats around you, you only need to confess your sins to Jesus and ask Him for his forgiveness. And just like Noah you will be lead by God into a new life that God has prepared for you. 

1 Corinthians 2:9 says "No eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined what God has prepared for those who love him." 

You will have the everlasting life with Christ in Heaven. God is giving you a covenant like a rainbow that you will be with Him.
