Life Lines
By Linda Lariscey
KEEP YOUR HEART OPEN TO GOD
Faith opened Noah’s heart to receive revelation and warnings
from God about what was coming, even things that had never been
seen. But he stepped out in reverent obedience to God and built
an ark that would save him and his family. Hebrews 11:7 (TPT)
This time of the year, a slew of Hallmark Movies come out.
Watch one, and you can tell how each one will turn out. She
loves him, but he doesn’t know it. He loves her, but she seems
uninterested. Inevitably you hear the line, "I’m done, no more
trying, I give up." But hope springs eternal, and by the end of
the movie, all is well that ends well!
Hellen Keller once said, "Optimism is the faith that leads
to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and
confidence". God’s word agrees! Our faith and hope keep
us going because our heart stays open to Jesus. But if ever
we close our hearts to God, we shut off our ability to receive
instructions and warning from Him. We cut ourselves off from
revelation, and our ability to increase and multiply in Him ends.
Noah was a man who kept his heart open to God while living
among people whose every thought was evil. Like the meaning
of his name, God granted him rest, and because He believed
God, he and his family escaped the flood’s destruction. When
God "got done with the world," He was beginning with Noah.
When the Lord shut the ark’s door, he waited another seven
days before the rain came. To the very end, the Lord patiently
waited for anyone to knock on the ark’s door and say, "Let me
in," but that did not happen. Do you question, "Is the Lord done
with me?" No, he’s not. He’s knocking at your heart’s door,
waiting for you to invite Him in to begin again.
