WORTH IT
Today's reading: Genesis 5-8

"When Noah was 600 years old, on the seventeenth day of the second month, the underground waters burst forth on the earth, and the rain fell in mighty torrents from the sky." Genesis 7:11 NLT

I don't know if Noah ever doubted.

If he ever tired of always choosing godliness in a godless land.

If he was worn out from gathering lumber and building materials.

If his body was sore from sawing and hammering.

I don't know if he was completely exasperated from herding animals into their prospective pens.

Or had 'had it up to here' with the mockers.

But inside that ark...

When he heard those first raindrops hit the roof...

Drip.

Drop.

Splat.

He looked around and saw those he loved most dearly safe and secure...

Drip.

Drop.

Splat.

He knew it had all been worth it. Every single decision to obey.

It will be for us, too.
