No Steering Wheel on the Ark?
- 1 min reading time
This week, I came across a text that I’d like to share with you. Believe me, it's worth reading. I found it on Christian Life Ministry’s Facebook page.
"The most terrifying detail about Noah’s Ark isn’t the size of the flood. It is the design of the boat.
If you look closely at the blueprints God gave Noah in Genesis 6, He was extremely specific. He gave the exact length, width, and height. He specified the type of wood and the pitch to use for sealing it.
But God left out one crucial component.
There was no steering wheel, no sail, and worse still, there was no engine. The Ark was designed for floating, not for navigation.
Think about that.
Noah was building a massive vessel to survive a global storm, but he had no control over it or over where it would go. He couldn’t steer it away from the rocks. He couldn’t turn it into the waves. He couldn’t aim for dry land. He was at the mercy of the water. Noah’s job was to be the passenger, not the Captain.
God was the Captain.
This is a picture of someone’s life right now.
You are trying to put a steering wheel on a situation that God wants you to trust Him and float through."
