Assistant, what is your story?

Today we will analyze a story that makes all the difference in the lives of those who truly wish to please God.
It is a short story and yet so profound!
“This is the account of Noah and his family. Noah was a righteous man, blameless among the people of his time, and he walked faithfully with God. ” (Genesis 6:9)
Given this fact, I ask: What is your story?
Are you just and righteous among the people of your time, in other words, in the society you live in? Inside your home? At work with your colleagues? In the church, alongside your companions in the Work?
But what is to be this fair and honest person? It is someone that lives by faith; that has their thoughts constantly connected to God, who does not give up on her goal to please God, whatever the cost, whoever it may hurt … she just lives in OBEDIENCE to God, not getting carried away by her feelings, which are always contrary to FAITH!
Maybe you answered these questions saying yes, that you are a just and righteous person, who walks with God, like Noah. But do your attitudes prove it? Or are you easily swayed by circumstances, disheartened with obstacles; you cannot stand-it when you are not recognized for your work and subtly with your attitudes “throw in the towel”?
Noah had every reason to give up … after all, he only heard God’s voice when he was told to make the ark, and then when God told him to get out of it. And how about us—who now “have the upper hand”?
Seriously consider this matter and see if you are building your ark (Salvation) properly, according to the Will of God, or if you are finding a “way around” and destroying with your “I” the most precious thing there is:
ETERNAL LIFE!
I would like to know what you think about this matter. Make your comment.

This message was so powerful. At first I couldn’t even speak because immediately it made me examine myself.I read this message about 3 times back to back and it made me wonder though my story may be longer but is it something with substance like noah’s something so short yet with so much meaning.

I could say that, Salvation is not easy. Everyday is a new day and it is always important to look into yourself and behaviour when you are with certain people and knowing what is good and making a decision on staying away from that brings you down in your conscience with God. Even when there is nobody watching you , God is there, as He sees everything we do. It all comes down to that Fear of the Lord inside of you, That respect, that Consideration of Jesus’s expectation from me.
I have been making it point to look into myself and removing myself from things and people that draw me far and engaging myself with things and people that draws me inner to the Lord Jesus.
Thanks

I would say that really one of the hardest things as a woman of God is to put your feelings aside and use your mind, it is as if everything you see has some sort of feeling attached to it. But because I know the value of my soul, even when I feel like I want to complain and be a cry baby about things that happen in my life, I refuse and go back to the promises of God and that makes me less emotional and when I am less emotional my thinking is clearer, and my view of things is always changed in a better way. Thank you for sharing

Hello Mrs Luisa
Thank you for sharing these strong messages and they are very helpful to me a lot. I used to be the kind of assistant who used to claim to live by faith but whenever a situation would arise to put my faith into action, i would be so emotional, sobbing, and complaining to God. But today, I make aim to make every challenge and situation to be an opportunity to prove my faith and trust in God, and as such, God can find me to be righteous just as he found Noah, {I am building my Ark (Salvation)}
