The Bible tells us that Abraham never lived to see any of God's great promises fulfilled. But that never stopped him from trusting, believing, and hoping. So how well do you manage having to wait for something? That's what it means to walk by faith. For Abraham, receiving the promise was enough because he trusted God.

Giraffes, Hippos, horses and rabbits; chubby Noah with a long white beard, and a pretty rainbow in the sky... Cue the happy music and fluffy clouds. All the makings of a cute little children's story, right? WRONG! This is a story of massive wickedness and evil, so great that mankind had to be destroyed on a global scale. It is also the story of God's great mercy, Noah's faithful obedience, a daring rescue plan, and a promise of hope. It is your story and mine, about the awful consequences of sin and the awesome gift of redemption at the Cross. All aboard! It's beginning to rain.
