Isaiah 40;3, “ The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make straight in the desert a highway for our God.” Solomon tells us there is nothing new under the sun and this is a great example. Noah worked at building the ark and gathering food for years, all the while the people around him were mocking him. None the less Noah was a lone voice in the wilderness, not preaching but being the example of preparing for our Creator to have His way.
