Noah | When God Calls - Lessons In Obedience

In this episode of the Living Uncompromised podcast, Rebecca and Jennifer discuss Noah and his obedience to the LORD. Noah's righteousness is contrasted against the wickedness of the world as the Bible explains, "that every intention of the thoughts of [man's] heart was only evil continually" (Genesis 6:5b). Noah was blameless in his generation and found favor with God. God waited patiently while Noah completed the task of building the ark just as God commanded him. God shut the door and preserved Noah and his family. Noah did exactly what God asked him to do, and the hosts discuss Noah's part as the ordinary while God's part in bringing the animals to Noah, shutting the door of the ark, bringing the flood over the earth and drying the land was the extraordinary. The discussion highlights God's care for those who walk righteously before Him. The sign of God's covenant with Noah, his descendants, and all living creatures is the rainbow, explaining that according to Scripture, God sees the rainbow each time it appears, and He remembers His covenant. (Genesis 9:16)
