Taught about Noah in Sunday school last week. In my studies it was really interesting to see how long Noah was on board the boat and some other facts about Noah.
1) Noah was 500 when he first had children, that is about 300 years later than other men at that time.
2) The ark was floating for 150 days, that is 110 days after the rain stopped. I wonder how Noah and his family felt as they were just floating in the ark, wondering when they would be able to get out.
3) They were on board the ark for over a year.
Noah had great faith trusting God and obediently following his instructions, building the ark and entering it with all the animals and being safely kept for all that time. Reminded me how patient we need to be, our timing is not God's timing, we often want to rush ahead but God has everything in His control.
