Noah was definitely a righteous , blameless and a man who walked with God.His faith should be an exampleas he definitely related to the verse in Hebrews 11:7 where it says :
Hebrews 11:7
7......By faith Noah, when warned about things not yet seen, in holy fear built an ark to save his family. By his faith he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness that comes by faith.
He definitely knew what faith was as he believed what God said and laboured for 120 yrs to build the ark. How many of us would stay working on something that everyone around us laughed about .?
The other thought was that when he was in the ark, he did not hear from God for 5 months so I am wondering if maybe his family were giving him a hard time by saying ..".Look Noah what you got us into and where is God.? " But just because he did not hear from God does not mean that God forgot him . God was there all the time. And just because sometimes we do not hear from God when we think we should does not mean that God has forsaken us.?
