Communication Quote by Ellen O'Connell
““Well, they came the day after you did, but they made me angry, so I sent them away." Noah did not understand. "Sent them away?" Cord rejoined the conversation. "Ran them out of the house with a rifle." Noah couldn't have shown more astonishment if they'd said a mouse had killed a cat.””

![“According to all that God commanded [Noah], so he did. Noah did “according to all that God commanded him, so he did” (Genesis 6:22). Therein lies the key and secret to Noah’s faith.

He was a man who took God at His word.” quote by David Jeremiah](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/e4a/david-jeremiah-990_quote_according-to-all-that-god-commanded-noah_2061384.jpg)
