God gave Noah a task to do and He did it. While people ridiculed him, he was president in doing what God had called him to do. Then God directed him to walk through the door and go into the Ark. It was by faith that he entered the Ark. Then his family followed his faith. It was by faith that they too entered the Ark. Many people watch our actions, some from afar. We may never know all of those that we touch with our actions. Will our actions lead people to follow our faith in the Lord?
Genesis 7:7 (ESV)
7 And Noah and his sons and his wife and his sons’ wives with him went into the ark to escape the waters of the flood.
