Genesis 6:18 (NKJV) 18 But I will establish My covenant with you; and you shall go into the ark—you, your sons, your wife, and your sons’ wives with you.
God was talking to Noah in this verse. He was letting him know specifically who would be with him on the ark.
Having the right people around us when we are doing what God has called us to do, a faith project, is extremely important.
What is a faith project? It is something we know God is asking us to do.
For instance, God asked Noah to build an ark. He gave him specific details and He also told Him the people to have around him, to help and encourage him. Noah had his family. Those were the people that God wanted around Noah.
Some may not think this is important because all throughout their life they have always made their own choices as to who they are involved with. But when it comes to taking the steps that God has ordered us to take, it is crucial to pay attention to even those that He wants around us.
God knows the heart, intentions and motives of man better than we do. He knows who we need to have around us during these times. He knows who will stand with us until the project is finished. Who will not pull on us and distract us. Who will not try to take over half way through the project. He knows whether someone is sincere or if they are just in it for themselves.
Trusting Him, even with the people, friends, family, pastors, etc., that we need around us during these seasons in our life is what will help us get our God project done.
The enemy loves to bring in distractions, hindrances and problems to delay us or get us off track. He likes to get us caught up in things that can can set us back and mess up our timing. God’s timing is everything!
Some of us are still trying to work the project when, in reality, we missed the season for it.
Ecclesiastes 3:1 (NKJV) 3 To everything there is a season, A time for every purpose under heaven…
We need God’s help to keep us on track, focused and moving in the right season.
He will give us discernment in having the right people to stand with us, support and help us.
