Just one word ..... wooooow.
We've been talking about visiting the ark in Kentucky for some time now. The church finally made plans to see it and y'all, it's pretty awesome. Besides the fact that it's so stinkin' packed with people, it's a neat experience and so worth the $40. Then they shuttle you from the parking lot to the ark and while pictures may be deceiving, don't be fooled - it's so much bigger in person. Seriously, it's huge - so much so that I'd probably question Noah, too, if I saw him building this thing!
Though it was below 40 degrees, I'm thankful for a heated ark and the opportunity to see this in the most tangible way! I'm incredibly encouraged and also blown away by Noah's trust in the Lord; that God would command him to do something that probably sounded ... well, crazy and yet, Noah obeyed. Carrying two of every kind of animal in this large boat, preparing for a storm that would flood the earth and all of mankind, and simply moving forward saying, "I trust you, Lord."
Noah's ark is more than just a story, but it's an account of God's faithfulness. Because of one man's act of obedience, the Lord said, "I will remember my covenant between me and you and all living creatures of every kind. Never again will the waters become a flood to destroy all life. Whenever the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and all living creatures of every kind on the earth" (Genesis 9:15-16).
