Years back a good friend of mine, who is currently a missionary in Israel, gave me a precious etched painting of the Noah's ark and the Lord categorically used the painting to minister to me about building His kingdom on earth. This is why it is interesting to read about Johan Huibers. He is a man from Schagen, Netherlands who has finished building a smaller version of the original Noah's ark.
His reason? To resucitate Holland's dying faith - give 'em somethin' to talk about.
In our times when folks are wary of proclaiming the gospel of Christ, this is quite commendable. You and I can build our own ark by proclaiming Christ and the eternal REFUGE we have in Him when he died on the cross. Like the Ark in the days of Noah, Jesus is our refuge from the storm and a shelter from the rain. If we make Him the captain of our ship, He will bring us to a place of rest and promise. He is our Present Help.
Prayer: Lord, in these last days give me the faith, boldness, courage, and strength of Noah..to stand and proclaim you in the face of a laughing, mocking , and unbelieving crowd. And Lord, touch the laughing, mocking, and unbelieving crowd and turn every heart of stone into hearts of flesh. Give me a compassionate heart to reach and touch and be an extension of your love in all I do and say. I will not be ashamed of the Gospel because it is Your power to save. Lord, make my life a testament of your goodness and love. Help me to fulfil my assignment in you.
