Noah Obeyed God

Notice that Noah, out of the compassion of his heart didn't let some of them into the ark. His compassion was for those who might listen but no one would.

He preached 120 years while no one would listen. When the time came to close the doors he obeyed God because God's justice and will came first above any "feelings" Noah might have had. We are not told his feelings, but he was a human being, it must have grated on him some to hear all that screams and fear coming from those in the water.

Sometimes we have to ignore the appeals of those who are in disobedience and move forward to obey God.

My feelings would have been horror but not for their death in the water, for their refusal to listen and their destiny being hell.
