A Boatload of Faith!!!

We don't know her name so let's call her "Mrs. Noah."  She spent her days loving her husband, raising her three sons, and caring for their home.  Life was normal for her until Noah (they) got "the call" from the Lord.  God was going to destroy the earth by sending a flood and He asked Noah to build an ark.

As Noah moved forward in obedience, Mrs. Noah may have thought these questions:

• What can I do?
• How can I help my husband fulfill God's plan?

Here are some things she could of done and I believe we wives should do the same...

• Pray
• She could of prayed for mankind, her husband, and her family.
• We should be doing this daily
• Encourage
• Husbands thrive on their wives' kind words towards them and support.  
• Mrs. Noah could of encouraged Noah to work.
• Believe
• She could of question the flood and why her husband was building an ark, but she choose to believe.
• We need to believe in our spouse even at times when we do not want to.
• Help
• She could of helped with the animals and the food.
• Find ways to help your spouse carry out their tasks.
• Follow
• She followed her husband by faith in him and in the Lord.
• We need to give our husbands some credit and have faith in their ability to lead us right.  After all God does place them as the heads of our homes.  If your spouse isn't a believer, then your job is to honor and love, but pray that they would come to know the Lord.
