Noah

Yesterday's chapters for reading the Bible in a year was Genesis 4-7. If I am reading it right then the story of the ark is more impressive than I had ever thought. We all know that God told Noah to build and ark because a great flood was coming. The ark was suppose to be 450 feet long, 75 feet wide and 45 feet tall. This is the part that I think is impressive. God tells Noah in Genesis 7:4 "Seven days from now I will send rain on the earth for forty days and forty nights, and I will wipe from the face of the earth every living creature I have made." Now there could have been time between God giving Noah the dimensions of the ark and verse 4 but if there was not any time the Noah built the ark in seven days. Now my dad use to be in construction and let me tell you I don't think that they ever built a house in less than seven days and there was more than eight of them working at a time (That is if Noah's wife and his sons' wives helped out) If not then think about this for a second. Four men....Noah who is 600...seven days....atlest two of each animal of land and air...goal a huge boat...plus no power tools. The way I see it Noah and his family worked night and day to finish this ark and if it were me probably slept through the forty days and nights have rain after finishing up the ark. Like I said though these are just my thoughts and there could have been days in between so that Noah didn't build the ark in only seven days but if he did that is crazy and a bigger miracle than I had thought. Let me know your thoughts on this one.
Today's verses are Deuteronomy 3-4.
