The Ark

The LORD then said to Noah, “Go into the ark, you and your whole family, because I have found you righteous in this generation. Take with you seven pairs of every kind of clean animal, a male and its mate, and one pair of every kind of unclean animal, a male and its mate, and also seven pairs of every kind of bird, male and female, to keep their various kinds alive throughout the earth. Seven days from now I will send rain on the earth for forty days and forty nights, and I will wipe from the face of the earth every living creature I have made.” – Genesis 7:1-4

The Lord regretted that he had made humans and planned to destroy the human race, but Noah found favor in the His eyes. Noah built an ark per the Lord’s instructions and he and his family were spared. May this striking image be a reminder that following God's plan, even when it looks crazy to the world, may be the difference between life and death!
