  Hello friends! Welcome back to Wonderfully Made

  In our last episode, we talked about Cain and Abel and learned how our choices can affect our
• 0:18
  lives and the lives of others around us. Today, we'll hear about a man named Noah and how God gave
• 0:26
  him a very special mission during a time when the world had forgotten to follow God.
• 0:32
  Today's story is from Genesis chapter 6 to 8. Are you ready to dive into this incredible story?
• 0:41
  Let's begin! A long time ago, after the time of Cain and Abel, people began to fill the earth.
• 0:49
  But something sad happened. Many of them stopped following God. They made bad choices and forgot
• 0:57
  about his love. This made God very sad because he loves his creation so much. But there was one man
• 1:05
  who still listened to God and loved him. His name was Noah. God gave Noah a special task with
• 1:14
  specific instructions. He explained that the people had turned away from him, but he wanted to save
• 1:21
  Noah, his family, and the animals. God commanded Noah to build a large boat called an ark,
• 1:30
  providing detailed measurements and instructions. The ark would need to be big enough to hold Noah's
• 1:37
  family and two of every kind of animal. Can you imagine what that must have been like? A huge
• 1:45
  boat that would carry elephants, giraffes, lions, and even tiny ants, and all of them safe from the
• 1:54
  coming flood. It was a big job, but Noah followed every instruction carefully, showing his trust and
• 2:02
  obedience to God. Can you imagine hammering and sawing every day for years? Let's pretend to hammer.
• 2:15
  Great job! Once the ark was finished, God told Noah to bring two of every kind of animal into
• 2:24
  the ark. God also told Noah to gather enough food for everyone, his family and animals alike.
• 2:32
  When it was time, God shut the door of the ark. Then, it began to rain. At first, it was just a
• 2:41
  few drops. Can you make the sound of raindrops? But soon, it rained harder and harder until
• 2:54
  water covered the whole earth. Noah and his family were safe inside the ark, just as God had promised.
• 3:02
  The rain lasted for 40 days and 40 nights, but Noah trusted God. Finally, the rain stopped,
• 3:10
  and the waters began to go down. Noah sent out a dove to see if it was safe to leave the ark.
• 3:18
  The dove came back with an olive leaf in its beak, a sign that dry land was near. When the earth was
• 3:30
  dry, God told Noah to come out of the ark with his family and all the animals. Noah built an altar
• 3:39
  to thank God for keeping them safe, and God made a special promise called a covenant. He put a
• 3:48
  rainbow in the sky and said, Never again will there be a flood to destroy the earth. The rainbow was
• 3:57
  a sign of God's love and promise to his creation. What an amazing story! Noah trusted God even when
• 4:07
  it seemed like a big and difficult task. God took care of Noah, his family and all the animals.
• 4:15
  And the rainbow reminds us that God always keeps his promises.
• 4:21
  Here's something to think about. Are there times when it's hard to trust God? Maybe when you're
• 4:28
  scared or don't understand what's happening. Just like Noah, we can trust that God is with us and
• 4:35
  has a plan for our lives. Thank you for joining me today to hear about Noah's ark and God's rescue
• 4:44
  plan. Next time, we'll learn about a big promise God made to a man named Abraham. It's a story
• 4:53
  about trust, blessings, and how God's plans are always good. Until then, remember, you are
• 5:01
  wonderfully made. Bye for now.
