#EaglesDevotional -- GET INTO THE ARK



“But first must he suffer many things, and be rejected of this generation. And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man. They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.” Luke 17:25-27

Sometimes, people reject the word of God. They get puffed up as soon as you start talking about Jesus. They feel they know everything. The story of the world today is like the story of the days of Noah in Genesis 8. In the above scripture, when the Lord said to Noah, “build an ark”, the people did not believe him. The scientists would have examined the atmosphere and said it wasn't necessary. It is good to have degrees but when you have it outside Christ, there is a problem.

Noah did not listen to them; he went ahead and built the ark. People would have looked at him and called him crazy.  Noah built the ark while they laughed. While they were still laughing, Noah and his family moved into the ark, locked it and God took the keys so that thereafter, Noah would not have compassion on people. See Genesis 7:16 Suddenly, the rains began. It was a different kind of rain. People expected the rain to stop but it didn't. The flood was gradually coming together. I believe people were running to the ark saying, “Please i’m sorry, open the door” and Noah would have said, “I’m sorry, the key is with Jesus”.

When Human beings refused to listen, animals entered, the door was locked and they perished in the flood. Animals took the place of human beings in the ark. What will an intellectual do when he comes face to face with death. We shall all stand before God someday and you shall explain to God what you did with your life. We shall all give account.
Today, Jesus is that ark, and the door is still open, you can still enter.

Prayer/Confession: Nothing will take my place in the name of Jesus. I will serve the Lord with my whole heart.
