God's Blueprints for Noah

“Fate leads the willing, and drags along the reluctant.” – Seneca
I saw this anonymous post on Facebook and thought it bore repeating…
If you look closely at the blueprints God gave Noah in Genesis 6, He was extremely specific. God gave the exact length, width, and height. He specified the type of wood and the pitch to seal it. But God left out one crucial component.
There was no steering wheel, no sail, and worse still, there was no engine. Think about how scary that was.
Noah was building a massive vessel to survive a global storm, but he had zero control over it, or over where it went.
He couldn't steer it away from rocks. He couldn't turn it into the waves. He couldn't aim for dry land. He was completely at the mercy of the water.
The ark was not designed for navigation; just for floating.
Noah’s job was to be the passenger, not the captain.
God was the Captain.
This is a picture of your life right now. You are trying to put a steering wheel on a situation that God wants you to simply float through.
Hopefully, that little message made you think as much as it did me.
