Noah gave thanks and rejoiced at all the Lord had done to protect him and his family and offered sacrifice to the Lord after he, his family, and the animals left the ark. He could have given himself all the credit for building the ark and gathering food and loading the animals and sending out the doves, but he didn’t. He knew why they had been saved and he knew that his obedience had resulted in blessings from God. We need to give thanks, too, to our Heavenly Father for His commandments to be prepared and for the blessings preparedness brings. We also need to recognize that it is only due to the grace of God that we survive the floods of our lives even when we fill our arks as instructed. Give thanks and rejoice.
