ALL I REALLY NEED TO KNOW I LEARNED FROM NOAH'S ARK

1.      Don't miss the boat.

2.      Don't forget that we're all in the same boat.

3.      Plan ahead. It wasn't raining when Noah built the ark.

4.      Stay fit. When you're 600 years old, someone might ask you to do something REALLY big.

5.      Don't listen to critics, just get on with what has to be done.

6.      Build your future on high ground.

7.      For safety's sake, travel in pairs.

8.      Two heads are better than one.

9.      Speed isn't always an advantage; the snails were on board with the cheetahs.

10.    When you're stressed, float awhile.

11.    Remember that the ark was built by amateurs; the Titanic was built by professionals.

12.    Remember that woodpeckers inside are a larger threat than the storm outside.

13.    No matter the storm, when you're with God there's a rainbow waiting.

 

 

GOD CAUSES EVERYTHING TO WORK TOGETHER

“And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to His purpose for them” (Romans 8:28, NLT).

Everyone goes through things that don’t seem to make sense. It’s easy to get discouraged and wonder, “Why did this happen to me?” “Why did this person treat me wrong?” “Why did I get laid off?” But we have to understand, even though life is not always fair, God is fair. And He promises to work all things together for good for those who love Him.

I believe the key word in this verse is “together.” In other words, you can’t just isolate one part of your life and say, “Well, this is not good.” “It’s not good that I got laid off.” “It’s not good that my relationship didn’t work out.” Yes, that’s true, but that’s just one part of your life. God can see the big picture. That disappointment is not the end. Remember, when one door closes, God has another door for you to walk through—a better door. Those difficulties and challenges are merely stepping stones toward your brighter future. Be encouraged today because God has a plan for you to rise higher. He has a plan for you to come out stronger. He has a plan to work all things together for your good so that you can move forward in the victory He has prepared for you!

"I can accept failure, everyone fails at something. But I can't accept not trying." - Michael Jordan
