The Arks Most Unlikely Heroes
A Tale of Divine
InterventionAs we commemorate
the story of Noahs Ark let us
not forget one of the most
intriguing aspects of this
legendary tale the clever
solution to a ratherobtuse
problemAccording to Hebrew
legend as Noah worked
tirelessly to stockpile food
for his family and the animals
on board he grew increasingly
concerned about the rodent
population that had also taken
up residence on the ark The
constant threat of hungry rats
devouring their precious
provisions was a real worry
for the good people of the
arkIn response to Noahs prayer
for protection God did not
provide a straightforward
solution nor would we expect
anything less from the
Almighty Instead He chose an
unconventional approach that
has since become the stuff of
legend making the lion
sneezeYes you read that
correctly The great king of
beasts was suddenly afflicted
with a ratherfierce case of
hiccups And as he let out a
mighty roar or should I say
Achoo something remarkable
happened A cat a sleek agile
and cunning feline no less
materialized before Noahs very
eyesNow we might ask what
exactly was the purpose behind
this ratherunorthodox
intervention It seems that God
had a plan to address the rat
problem in a most creative and
effective way You see cats and
rats have a long history of
natural enmity and it appears
that our feline friend was
more than happy to take on the
role of arks resident pest
control officerAnd so as the
lion continued to sneeze and
cough up these curious little
creatures the arks rat
population began to dwindle
and Noahs worries subsided It
was a testament to Gods
ingenuity and a reminder that
even in the most obtuse of
situations divine intervention
can lead to innovative and
unexpected solutionsIn
conclusion as we reflect on
this remarkable tale from the
Bible let us not overlook the
cleverness of Gods design Who
knew that a lions sneeze would
be the key to keeping those
pesky rats at bay It just goes
to show that even in the most
trying times our Creator is
always ready to surprise us
with His wisdom and
creativitySources Genesis 69

Enjoy the little things in life. For one day, you may look back and realize they were the big things. Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.
