Noah's Ark Had No Rudder

an email from teacher Lisa...
=)
and i found the meaning of rudder just in case ppl dunno wads that...
heehee
Rudder:
n 1: a hinged vertical airfoil mounted at the tail of an aircraft and used to make horizontal course changes 2: (nautical) steering mechanism consisting of a hinged vertical plate mounted at the stern of a vessel

"By faith Noah, being warned by God about things
Not yet seen, in reverence prepared an ark for the salvation
Of his household-and became an heir of the
Righteousness which is according to faith"
Hebrews 11:7

Did you ever notice that in Genesis when God is giving Noah the instructions on how to build the ark,
He never told him about the rudder? Every great ship that I have ever known has had a rudder. Every
ship I have been on I hope, by faith, has a rudder and it is in working order.

Why did God not put a rudder on the ark? Can you imagine Noah saying umm, God, I have a question.
Do you think we can put a rudder on this thing? Instead Noah answered in faith and said yes God; I will
do as you command. I will get out of my comfort zone, I will do what you have asked me to do and I will
do your will.

The reason that Noah did not ask for the rudder is because he knew that no matter what was going on
around them that God was going to steer the boat to safety and that God was in charge. All Noah and his
family had to do was be faithful to the calling God put on Noah and wait.

Is God calling you on to do something that takes a great deal of courage and takes you out of your comfort
zone? I can assure you that Noah's comfort zone was not on the ark with hundreds of animals who smelled
like a really bad day at the zoo. Noah stepped out anyway, and thanks to him, we are all here today.
I challenge you to step out and do that which God is calling you to do. I mean, it is not like he is calling you
to build an ark or anything. God is in charge and as such God will provide.
What an awesome thing to grasp!
"I know the LORD is always with me.
I will not be shaken, for He is right beside me."
Psalms 16:8
