Noah’s position was no different to God’s people in all ages who depend on God to do things for them which are completely impossible for them to do for themselves, and far beyond their ability to even understand: bring about the incarnation of the Son of God, make atonement for their sin, rise from the dead and ascend into heaven, send the Spirit from heaven, put new life in their souls, bring this world to an end, raise all who have ever lived from the dead, judge the quick and the dead, create new heavens and a new earth, and bring the saints into his kingdom for evermore. Noah met all difficulties with faith in God’s infinite power and his love for his children. He did not expect the Lord to explain himself to his servant in advance, but accepted the boundaries of what God chose to reveal to him. He trusted that as the waters had risen and destroyed every living thing, so God would cause the waters to recede revealing a new home for mankind and the creatures on the ark.
