Insurance & Noah

I met my insurance agent yesterday and we spent about 1 minute on insurance matters and the rest of the hour catching up. One thing she said struck me. "This will be the amount for your loved ones." We buy insurance for those we love, also for ourselves.

So did Noah ... well, he didn't buy insurance, he built one - the Ark. And it was for those he loved. Firstly God, then his family and the animals that God had commanded him to take on board.

Monday night had the perfect weather to watch 'The Storm' on TV. It rained for a long time. I wondered about Noah. When God told him to build the Ark, it was bright and sunny. Noah obeyed and tried his best to warn those around him of the impending great flood. They must have laughed in his face as they looked up at the bright, clear, blue skies.

And so, we buy insurance on good days ... to prepare for bad days. Noah took (built) an insurance but he also had assurance - God's. And the great flood? That was certainly an act of God!

How are all these things related? They are not. Not really. Then again, these are my random thoughts.
