verse 22, "Noah did everything just as God commanded him."
The most unbelievable proclamation up to that point in history - God is going to destroy all things living.  Not just a little bit or in a little area, but all the earth. 
So God has this little conversation with Noah and he is told to build a boat (what's a boat?) because it's going to rain (what's rain?).  Noah's reaction is priceless - whatever, whatever God wants he will do just as he is commanded.
That's what I want for my life.  I want to do whatever God commands of me.  I don't want to question or doubt, I want to be obedient. 
Earlier in the chapter it says that Noah found favor in the eyes of the Lord.  I want to find favor in God's eyes.  I know that comes from years and years of walking with God - moment by moment listening to the promptings of the Holy Spirit and saying yes.  That's how I want to live everyday.
