Where Will You Be?

 Where will you be?

 


Genesis 7:16

King James Version

16 And they that went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God had commanded him: and the Lord shut him in.

Over 100 years it took to build Noah’s Ark and Noah and his family kept the faith throughout.  I have faith that they tried to convert more peoples over to God, but the fear of God had left man.  Finally, the Ark was finished, and God sent the Animals and Noah and his family inside. 

I wonder how many times Noah was laughed at.  How many times did he tell people that water was going to rain down from the heavens?  The faith and believe of Noah for some would be beyond belief, but it's really not.  Prayer, study, and living in Christ's footsteps isn't hard, but it isn't easy either.  God never said it would be easy.

It was God that closed the door to the ark.  Those living on the earth had failed in turning to God and suffered the consequences.  The earth split apart and waters in the earth spouted upward and for the first time in earth’s history, water rained down on it and its inhabitants, leaving only those in the ark safe. 

I picture Pangaea once again splitting apart into the continents we know of today.  Pushing away from that where they were anchored.  Baptizing and cleansing the world of evil.  God’s decision was made.  There were no more chances.

Will we be ready when Jesus comes again and the door to God’s kingdom is closed?

Lord help me be ready for when you come again.  Take my Heart, Mind, and Soul and help me follow your plan.  We know without you we would not be. May our faith grow stronger each day and please bless us in every way. Amen.

  

When the Door Closes.

What side of the door will you be on?

When the door closes?

Who will you be standing beside,

When the door closes?

 

When God’s patience has ended,

When He decides it is time?

When our fate is decided,

What side of the door will you be?

 

Will you be on the side of Jesus,

Who offered his life for your own?

Will you be on the opposite side,

When you can no longer atone?

 

What side of the door will you be on?

When the door closes?

Which side will you be standing in,

When the door closes?

 

God’s final judgement will be,

When the door closes.

No further chance will you have,

When the door is closed.
