This morning, I read through Genesis 8 and discovered a nugget of truth about Noah. He and his family, along with the animals, had been in the ark for one year and 10 days when God finally said, “Step out of the Ark.”
It wasn’t written as approximately one year or “Some time passed.” It was written in the Amplified Bible as one year and 10 days.
If Noah had stepped out of the ark too soon, the ground would have been too wet and the vegetation wouldn’t have been mature enough to feed the animals. If he had waited too long, their food and water supplies inside the ark would have been depleted. God knew the exact day that Noah was to step out of the ark. Noah waited, listened for God’s instruction and then obeyed.
In my situation, God knows the exact day that I will hear about a new job. It won’t be one day early or one day late. Hopefully, it won’t be one year and 10 days, but it will be the exact day that God already knows. What I need to do is wait, listen and obey.
Then I’ll step out of this particular ark and into the blessing.
