Waiting Game

"This is how you are to build it: The ark is to be three hundred cubits long, fifty cubits wide and thirty cubits high. Make a roof for it, leaving below the roof an opening one cubit high all around. Put a door in the side of the ark and make lower, middle and upper decks." Genesis 6:15-16

An ark of His saving grace. It was to protect Noah and his family from the coming flood. He was to take in wild animals as well. He was to wait in the ark until God's judgment passed. Odd enough, the ark had no means to navigate. It had no sails, no rudders let alone any directions to prepare oars. 

Noah was to simply float. No sense of direction. No sense of destination. He was to wait. 

I have always sought goals and dreams. I planned and acted upon them. Yet, now I am at a point where there really seems to be nothing there to do but to wait for the Lord. Like Noah, his drifting will not last his entire lifetime. It will come to an end where he can prepare and plan accordingly. For now, for me, I'll wait.
