Listening and Doing: Hear It, Use It

Monday February 21, 2011


A picture of that little boy flashed through my mind again.

You know, the one I wrote about a couple of weeks ago.

Sunday’s sermon was about building a spiritual treehouse. Noah built his “house” – albeit a floating one – out of a tree or two, and it provided him and his family all the protection they needed.

You know how you’ve read and heard a story over and over and this time, a verse just jumps out at you? That’s what happened to me.

Genesis 6:22 says, “Noah did everything just as God commanded him.”

Wow. Everything. He didn’t vary the number of cubits or add an extra window or door. He didn’t take four of his favorite animals and leave the mosquitoes behind.

No, he did everything just as God had commanded him.

You can see why I flashed back to that little boy, frozen at his mama’s voice. Noah listened…and then he did – exactly as he was told.

I’m pretty sure I can use this concept in my own life on Monday and on Tuesday and on Wednesday and … you get the picture!

Linking up today with Michelle at Graceful for Hear it on Sunday, Use it on Monday.
