1. The story of Noah's Ark teaches us several lessons, including to prepare early for challenges, remember that we are all in this together, and that even laypeople can accomplish great things with God's help. 2. Specific lessons mentioned are to not miss opportunities, plan ahead, stay healthy, focus on your work despite criticism, build your future on solid foundations, travel with a partner for safety, and that speed is not the most important thing. 3. No matter how bad the situation seems, if you walk with God, there is hope, represented by the rainbow. We should share messages of hope and blessing with others.
