Noah
Picture building a giant boat in your backyard for years — while it's never once rained. That's exactly what Noah did, because God asked him to. His obedience, even when nobody else understood it, saved his family and two of every animal from the flood, and gave us that first rainbow in the sky.
Big idea: When we obey God and wait on Him, He always keeps His promises.
