Professional, experienced experts build the Titanic. The owners and crew made it known that not even God can sink the ship. They did not acknowledge that it was with the knowledge and wisdom they have received form God that they were able to build the ship. They boasted in their own strength. Needless to say, the ship did not reach it destiny and, today it is an underwater museum.
An ordinary man, with handcrafted tools build the Ark. God anointed the ark as Noah was obedient when God instructed him to build the ark. The people made fun of Noah and said that he was crazy. That did not discourage him, he believed God and plead with the people to repent. The people didn’t want to hear about God. He was not on their schedule. The flood came. People beg Noah to open the ark’s door, but God locked the door. Noah and his family were saved. The ark reached it destiny! A new beginning was created by God!
