get in the boat

I am currently reading the book "The Grand Weaver" by Ravi Zacharias. It is about how God shapes us through the events of our lives. It is a very interesting and great read! At one point in the book he is talking about faith-trust and how God is in control. And he had this thought: (that i am going to sum up in my own words)

You know how God told Noah to build the ark right? This is how God told Noah to build it (taken from Genesis 6:14-16)

So make yourself an ark of cypress wood; make rooms in it and coat it with pitch inside and out. This is how you are to build it: The ark is to be 450 feet long, 75 feet wide and 45 feet high. Make a roof for it and finish the ark to within 18 inches of the top. Put a door in the side of the ark and make lower, middle and upper decks.

Do you see how specific the plans were for the ark? very.

But what is missing that most boats have? . . . a rudder or a sail.

God did not tell Noah to put a rudder/sail/steering wheel because God did not want Noah guiding or directing the ark. He wanted Noah to obey Him, trust Him and just get in the boat. This shows how God is in control and how He guides and knows the direction of where Noah was supposed to go. And at the right time, God's time, they reached their destination.

You can bring this to your life today. Just get in the boat.
Trust God with your life, He knows what is ahead, He knows the waters will rise and fall in your life- just have faith in Him that He will bring you safely to shore when He is ready to. Just let God be in control of your life and guide you in everything you do.

Don't be afraid to get in the boat- God has complete control.
