We parked our van and boarded the ark walking up a long, gradual ramp much like the animals boarded two by two in Noah Ark. We were in the ark about ten minutes when we heard a loud, deep boom of a heavy door closing. I imagined it sounded like what Noah and his household must have heard when God Himself closed the door after all were boarded.

Kingdom on the Horizon
Symbolically speaking, a horizon symbolizes a boundary between the known and the unknown that includes both limits and infinite possibilities. It represents hope and opportunity. The eastern horizon where the sun rises is a powerful symbol for new beginnings, hope, and the start of a new day. Colossians 3:1 says it this way, “Weeping may tarry for the night, but joy comes in the morning.”
Road Trip or Vacation Spot?
Is there a wilderness in your journey? Be patient – there’s an end to it. Be aware, as well, to the oasis, for that too has an end. Like the rolling in and out of ocean waves, there is an ebb and flow to life on earth. There is purpose for each one’s journey, but the destination is the ultimate goal where time as we know it ceases.
