DO WHAT GOD HAS TOLD YOU
“By faith Noah…built an ark.”
—Hebrews 11:7 NIV
Good Sunday morning, SisterFriend. 🤎
Noah built the ark because God told him to build it. Every plank he cut, every nail he hammered, and every day he continued working was an act of faith and obedience.
Noah did not have to understand everything God was doing. He simply had to trust the One who gave him the instructions.
That makes me pause and ask:
What has God already told me to do?
Is there an instruction I have delayed because it seems too small?
Is there a step I have avoided because I cannot see the entire plan?
Am I waiting for more confirmation when God has already spoken?
Sometimes we are looking for God to reveal something new while overlooking the last thing He told us to do.
This week, our Scriptures will lead us through a beautiful progression:
We will seek God with the hunger of David in Psalm 63.
We will recognize where our Father is working in John 5.
We will offer our lives to Him in Romans 12.
We will remember His teaching in Proverbs 3.
We will pray, “Not my will, but Yours,” with Jesus in Luke 22.
We will learn to abide in Christ through John 15.
And we will be challenged to take up our cross and follow Him daily in Luke 9.
Do you see it, SisterFriend?
God is inviting us to seek Him, recognize His activity, surrender our will, remain close to Jesus, and obey what He reveals.
Obedience may not always look dramatic. It may look like making the phone call, offering forgiveness, opening your Bible, praying before responding, serving someone quietly, setting a boundary, showing up consistently, or completing the work God placed in your hands.
Whatever tool you use—a keyboard, mop, microphone, spreadsheet, Bible, mixing bowl, lesson plan, or coffee pot—it can become an instrument of worship when placed in God’s hands.
Do not dismiss the small thing God has asked you to do.
Noah’s obedience did not begin when the rain started. It began when he picked up the first piece of wood.
Perhaps it will begin with your next obedient yes.
Do what God has told you.
