21 And take thou unto thee of all food that is eaten, and thou shalt gather it to thee; and it shall be for food for thee, and for them. 22 Thus did Noah; according to all that God commanded him, so did he (Genesis 6:21-22).
God’s sovereignty is not always easy to understand. God is in control and therefore the frame of reference for decisions is His will, not our own. When God commands He is exercising His authority. God’s command to Noah was to prepare for the coming flood. Noah responded to God’s command by obedience. This obedience could not have been easy. It involved a lot of work and because Noah knew why he was preparing, I am sure it was a strain on Noah’s soul. However, God in His sovereignty is just and all that He commands is for our own good and His Glory. Our response to God then ought to be like that of Noah, who responded to God’s command through obedience.
