There's a reason Noah is held up as an exemplary servant of God, and it can be seen in this passage. When God called Noah to do something that seemed baffling and pointless--in this case, to build a gigantic boat in preparation for a flood that was many years in the future--he didn't balk, but set about the task faithfully. He trusted God, and understood that God's perspective is very different from our own.
