But Noah was different. Gᴏᴅ liked what he saw in Noah. Genesis 6:8 MSG
“But I will establish my covenant with you, and you will enter the ark—you and your sons and your wife and your sons’ wives with you. 19You are to bring into the ark two of all living creatures, male and female, to keep them alive with you. 20Two of every kind of bird, of every kind of animal and of every kind of creature that moves along the ground will come to you to be kept alive. 21You are to take every kind of food that is to be eaten and store it away as food for you and for them.” 22Noah did everything just as God commanded him. Genesis 6:18-22 NIV
Starting things is easy. Finishing things is biblical.
God’s measurement of success is faithfulness.
An opportunity might build your brand, but an assignment will build God’s kingdom.
Today is not the day to give up your God-given assignment for a man-made opportunity.

TALK IT OVER:
Read Matthew 25:23. Think of someone you know who is faithful. What are some of their qualities or habits?
Talk about a time when your expectations didn’t match your reality. How did you process that experience with God and others?
Share openly about what God is doing through your life. Is there anything He has called you to do that you need to finish? What obstacles are getting in your way, and how will you choose perseverance?
