Adjustments

Since it had never rained in the days of Noah, I’m sure most people thought he was crazy for building an ark. Noah’s assignment made him look ridiculous in front of his peers. The Bible says that, “God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intention of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.” (Genesis 6:5, ESV). God calls us to assignments that the world can never understand because it is full of wickedness.

We live in a dark and sinful world. We cannot expect the world to understand the assignment that God has given us. All of Noah’s siblings had to know what he was building but the Bible does not say any of them offered to help. We cannot let the love for our family stop us from doing what God has assigned us to do. We have to make whatever adjustments necessary to fulfill the call on our lives. Look at Moses: he had to leave the palace to go to the dessert to fulfill his assignment. 

The assignments that God has called each of us to will require us to make adjustments. It may require some embarrassment and ridicule from others but we must remember what Jesus told his disciples “… if they persecute me, they will do the same to you for the servant is not greater than his Lord” (John 15). Be encouraged and stay the course, for many lives will be changed as you are obedient to the call.
