Before sin entered the world, Adam and Eve lived in the Garden of Eden and were close to God. After eating the forbidden fruit, a divide formed between them and God. By the time of the flood, God looked at His creation, the beautiful earth, and wondered if there was anything worth saving. He felt sad about the state of the world. Just as He was about to give up, one person stood out to Him—Noah.

Noah was so precious to God that He decided to preserve a remnant just to save him and his family. However, Noah had to do his part! Following God’s instructions, Noah built an ark despite being mocked for three years. Once completed, he boarded with his wife, sons, and two of every species. Soon after, a storm overwhelmed the world, and the ark floated as God initiated a new beginning through the tempest.

My friend, be like Noah, focusing on constructing the ark of your existence. Build a strong foundation for your life to survive tough storms. People may mock you, but living a meaningful life brings joy. When you feel like giving up, keep doing the right thing and make pleasing Jesus your top priority. He has a plan for you and wants to help you become a vessel that can face challenges and move forward with the Holy Spirit into better days.
