Where exactly does it say in Genesis that God shut the door on the ark?

Genesis 7

13 In the selfsame day entered Noah, and Shem, and Ham, and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah's wife, and the three wives of his sons with them, into the ark;

14 They, and every beast after his kind, and all the cattle after their kind, and every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind, and every fowl after his kind, every bird of every sort.

15 And they went in unto Noah into the ark, two and two of all flesh, wherein is the breath of life.

16 And they that went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God had commanded him: and the LORD SHUT HIM IN.

Comment: the door was so massive. God was the only one who could shut it from the outside.

Note: Jesus is the Door.

It was an act of faith on noahs part ,if noah made the ark exactly to Gods specifications ,he would have noticed that he wouldnt be able to close the door from the inside for whatever reason ,for him not to be worried about this ,for him not to question Gods design of the ark ,shows an enormous amount of faith in God . We need to show our faith in God by accepting the life circumstances that He has put us in and not worrying too much about where He puts us ,trust in His love and care for us ,God thinks of EVERYTHING .
