Many people will say that they learned everything they need to know about life from this one story in their bible studies: the story of Noah’s ark.
You may have already heard the story that involved flash floods and possibly wondered what to take away from it. While this story is far from contemporary, there are vital life lessons you can take away from it that you can apply to your life.
Let’s focus on lessons to learn from Noah and the ark.
Lesson #1. Don’t Pay The Critics Any Mind
Noah was constantly criticized for building his ark and bringing animals to it for when there would be floods. However, his belief in God and himself was unshakeable. So, he continued with his work, regardless of the naysayers around him..
Even when you’re consistently criticized for everything you want to pursue by the people around you, you must keep going and follow your dreams. The unfortunate aspect of criticism is that, often, our closest relatives and friends will discourage our dreams.
We must keep encouraging ourselves despite that.
Lesson #2. When God is With You, There’s Always a Silver Lining
Regardless of how large a storm you may be facing in your life, the fact is that when God is with you, there are better times and silver linings ahead for you. Additionally, he’ll assist you in getting through the obstacles you’re facing.
Lesson #3. Plan Ahead of Time
Noah started incrementally building the ark long before it ever started raining. In this way, you must stay ahead of the storm and make preparations ahead of time.
