This is yet another post that I borrowed from a friend on Facebook. I will of course give credit and also include a link to the original post:

“The Ark was built before the rain.

That is the part men skip.

Noah did not wait until the sky turned black.

He did not wait until water came through the door.

He did not wait until his wife was scared, his sons were frantic, and the neighbors finally believed him.

He built while the world looked normal.

That is faith.

Not vibes.
Not panic.
Not last-minute religion.

Obedience before proof.

“By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark…”

Hebrews 11:7 KJV

Most men wait until the flood is already in the house.

The marriage is already cold.

The son is already distant.

The daughter already stopped talking.

The body already broke down.

The money is already gone.

Then they want God to help them build.

But the ark is not a panic project.

It is what a man builds because he believes God before the weather changes.

Build before the rain.” ~The Biblical Man, X

I’m reminded of what my pastor said on more than one occasion. Sometimes, when God’s call comes, you won’t have time to get ready. You’ll have to be ready. That means that you learn the disciplines that allow you to be mature enough to handle the call of God or else it will destroy you and hurt many others in the process.
