May 31st, 2008Previous | Next
Noah was an example of making God smile (continued):
- When we obey him wholeheartedly
- Noah was given detailed instructions on: size, shape, number of animals, and materials
- Completely, wholeheartedly, without delay, without explanation, joyfully, with enthusiasm
- Wholeheartedly = completely and exactly
- Partial obedience is disobedience
- Noah was given detailed instructions on: size, shape, number of animals, and materials
- When we praise and thank him continually
- Noah built an altar to the Lord - Genesis 18:20
- We are to offer a sacrifice of Praise and Thanksgiving - Hebrew 13:15; Psalms 116:17
- When we use our abilities
- God enjoys every detail, not just "spiritual" activities - Psalms 37:23
- Reject yourself, you reject God's wisdom in creating you
- There are no nonspiritual abilities just misused ones
- Children do not have to anything special to make their parents happy
