"Noah found favor in the eyes of the Lord... Noah... did all that God commanded him." Genesis 6:8,22
I admire Noah because he did what was right, regardless of the people around him. I'm sure he subjected himself to tremendous ridicule. You might think "he didn't care what people thought about him", but he could have. He could have been a sensitive person, a people-pleaser who felt the mockery like a whip lash. Either way, he cared MORE about what God thought about him. He trusted and obeyed. And the Bible tells us that THAT'S the kind of person who earns God's favor.
