What do you do when God tells you to build an ark?

When God tells you to build an ark, you build an ark!  Some will question your sanity, others will question your motives...

Some will ask questions like, "Is this really necessary?", "How can you afford the necessary tools, wood, and laborers?".  

Some will even question whether you really heard from God.  Others will laugh at you, make fun of you, even scorn you for what you truly believe God has called you to do.  

However, when God calls you to build an ark, you build an ark!

You may even find yourself questioning God.  Questions like: God, are you sure about this?  I mean, if this is the right thing to do, why is everyone mocking my name, making fun of me, calling me crazy, telling me that there's no need for such a vessel??

In these moments, it all comes down to this: Who do I trust more, God or man?

When God tells you to build an ark, you build an ark!

Why? Because one day the rains will come, and when it does people will no longer call you crazy.  In fact, they will want to get on the boat with you as they see thousands being saved because you listened to God, you honored His call.

God's not looking for perfect people to do His will.  He's not looking for those with a flawless testimony to carry out His plan... He's looking for those with a pure heart and a willingness to do what He asks us to do.  Those willing to pick up the hammer and get to work even while others say out efforts are unnecessary.

When God tells you to build and ark, you build an ark!

God always proves faithful.  We just need to be willing to build the ark! 

Let's get to work!
