Faith and obedience

Noah did everything the Lord told him to do. ~ Genesis 6:22 (CEV)

It was by faith that Noah built a large boat to save his family from the flood. He obeyed God, who warned him about things that had never happened before. ~ Hebrews 11:7a (NLT)

KEY IDEA:
Faith and obedience walk hand in hand.
PRAYER:
Lord,

THANKS: I am grateful for the direction you give to us. Sometimes what you say sounds crazy -- always challenging.

REGRETS: Unlike Noah, I worry too much about what might happen if I follow your directions. Actually, I don't worry so much about what people think but I'm concerned that I'm not hearing you correctly. 

INTERCESSION: Help me to know the difference between the crazy things you are asking me to do and the many crazy things that my own mind generates.

PURPOSE: I'm going to trust you to give me discernment.

Amen.
