"Can you find out the deep things of God, or can you by searching find out the limits of the Almighty [explore His depths, ascend to His heights, extend to His breadths, and comprehend His infinite perfection] His wisdom is as high as the heights of heaven! What can you do? It is deeper than Sheol (the place of the dead)! What can you know? Longer in measure [and scope] is it than the earth, and broader than the sea." -The Greatest Love Story Ever Told
You will not live long enough to figure everything out by yourself.
In fact, all generations combined could not.
Man has its limits. We all fail, hit and miss, fall short, lack understanding and repeat mistakes of previous generations. In fact, we are only as wise as our last point of reference and even that can pose grave limitations.
When times of desperation come, we are in need of a supernatural plan and wisdom. In Genesis, Noah could not rely on luck or human comprehension to survive the flood that was about to come upon the earth.
In Genesis 6, during a time when the LORD was sorry he had ever made mankind, put them on the earth and was heartbroken, scripture says, "Noah found favor with the LORD."
Noah was a righteous man, the only blameless person living on earth at the time, and he walked in close fellowship with God. Therefore, he was granted a supernatural pattern or blueprint to build an Ark to the saving of his household.
I wonder what supernatural plan God will release to us when we live our lives like that.
The Hebrew definition for the word, "supernatural" is: a miraculous wonder, done to elicit a reaction from onlookers; an extraordinary event with its supernatural effect left on all witnessing it. It is a spectacle, vision, that which is seen; something gazed at.
God has designed you to build something like that.
How do we know that Noah's plan was supernatural?
1. Because it had not been done before and
2. It did not need to be tested on the waters first.
It worked on the first test run. In fact, it had to or the rest of mankind would be eradicated. When the flood waters filled the earth, the Ark raised up to the heavens causing all who did not enter to gaze at it.
If you dare align your life to God's, He will give you a pattern, an untested idea that will cause men to witness it; an untested strategy or dream with supernatural implications for your life; one that you could not conjure up your own.
As a husband, I have learned that I cannot be 100% of what my wife needs 100% of the time. ONLY GOD CAN BE THAT. Therefore, I need a supernatural wisdom from Him, to help me know when my wife needs a rose, a candlelight bedside, a romantic card, time away, or my undivided attention, because I am fallible and fail.
So I rely on God to help me do the little things that can make a difference in her day so I can fill up her bank account at branch Philippians 4:8. I long for supernatural discernment and wisdom to create moments that are kind, pure, lovely, gracious, excellent and worthy of praise that she can gaze at when I am unlovable.
Noah was not perfect. But he was willing to build what God had put in his heart, even if it took 100 years to build. Imagine how many times, Noah messed up and had to start all over. He did not have a shred of evidence that the rain God promised would come to pass.
Yet Noah was not in this to fail.
While everything around Noah was dying, God confirmed a covenant with him.
Noah did everything exactly as God had commanded him; He was a perfect example of how we don't need luck in the marketplace; all we need is God's favor.
