REFLECT ON THIS ABOUT PLANNING
We live in a world where things happen that we do not expect and cannot predict. However, God does expect us to plan for the unexpected. God also wants us to be prepared for His judgment.
God does not want us to be people that live in denial. God wants us to face reality and be people that will follow Him obediently. He wants us to realize that His judgement is a part of his world.
Perhaps you have noticed a pattern. We are either going to grow old and then die, or we are going to die young. Either way, we are going to die, so we ought to make plans. However, we often act as if we are going to live in this world forever.
However, one day we are going to die and be judged; so, we had better make plans now.
The people of Noahโs day didnโt think they were accountable to God for their lives so they made no plans.
Yet for one hundred years people passed by a man building an ark which served as a constant reminder that God was going to judge the earth with a flood.
They had adequate warnings. But an ark sitting on dry ground without any water in sight for hundreds of miles must have looked like a strange sight. Perhaps it was something to laugh at rather than a warning.
Itโs not hard to imagine people living for today. Thatโs been happening since the days of Noah.
But if you are only living for today, then itโs more than your retirement that you are putting in jeopardy. Itโs more than your family that you are putting in jeopardy.
If you are only living for today, itโs your soul, itโs your eternity thatโs in jeopardy.
Genesis seven says that God instructed Noah and his family and the animals to enter the ark and the Lord closed the door behind them.
โWater flooded the earth for forty days, and as it rose it lifted the boat off the ground.โ (v. 17)
โAll living things that moved on the earth died. This included all the birds, tame animals, wild animals, and creatures that swarm on the earth, as well as all human beings.โ (v. 21) (NCV)
One of the lasting images I have from my childhood is the image of the ark being lifted from the earth by the rising flood and all the people being tossed by the choppy waters, crying out wanting to get inside. Of course, by that time it was too late.
For 100 years Noah had labored faithfully, carrying out the plans building the ark just as God instructed, without any evidence that a flood was coming. Then he was rewarded along with a remnant of animals.
What about you? Are you living only for today?
