Genesis 6:16

"Make a roof for it and finish the ark to within 18 inches of the top.  Put a door in the side of the ark and make lower, middle and upper decks."  Genesis 6:16

More building plans.  This huge basket you're going to build, make sure to put in a window just below the roof line and a door in the side and three floors.  What was Noah thinking at this time?  About how much room there was in there and what or who all would fit?  

Or maybe Noah was still wondering why he was building this huge structure if God was about to destroy the whole world anyway?  It's hard to want to build something if you know someone is going to come along behind you and tear it all down.  Are there times God asks us to build something that seems unrelated or counter productive to the future of the world?  Do we really need to know the why to obey?
