📖Faith That Builds

📜 Scripture: Hebrews 11:7 (ESV)
“By faith Noah, being warned by God concerning events as yet unseen, in reverent fear constructed an ark for the saving of his household. By this he condemned the world and became an heir of the righteousness that comes by faith.”

🕰️ Background
Noah’s story is one of radical obedience. When God told him to build an ark to prepare for a flood—something the world had never seen—he listened. Despite the ridicule and doubt surrounding him, Noah trusted in God’s words. His faith wasn’t passive; it moved him to action, making him a living example of righteousness and divine trust.

✝️ Devotional
Faith isn’t just belief—it’s movement. Noah didn’t just hear God; he acted on His instructions, building something that seemed impossible. True faith doesn’t always make sense in human terms. It often asks us to work toward something we don’t yet see, trusting that God’s promises are greater than our fears.

In the same way, God may be calling you to build—whether it’s a stronger relationship with Him, a vision He’s placed in your heart, or a life rooted in His purpose. Like Noah, you may face doubt from others, uncertainty within yourself, or obstacles along the way. But remember, the ark wasn’t built in a day, and neither is unshakable faith.

Faith trusts that God knows more than we do. It acts despite the unknown. And in the end, faith leaves behind a legacy of righteousness that endures beyond our lifetime.
