Genesis 8:1

Then God remembered Noah, and every living thing, and all the animals that were with him in the ark. And God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters subsided.

 

Bible Reading for a Year [bible]psalm135[/bible]; [bible]iicor8[/bible]; [bible]ichro5-7[/bible]

 

When we read the story of Noah, we usually focus only on the part of him building the ark and entering it. However, we seldom imagine what Noah and family, along with the animals, are doing in the ark. They spent almost one year living inside the ark!

They were stranded in the waters for a year. At that moment, they didn’t hear any sound of God’s voice that instructed them when to go out of the ark. Noah and his children and his wife might have wondered why God ignored them. They had no idea what they should do next.

But in Genesis 8:1 we find, “Then God remembered Noah, and every living thing, and all the animals that were with him in the ark.” God never forgets. In this verse, we are confirmed that God never forgets Noah and all the animals. We should remember that God never forgets us.

Sometimes God works mysteriously. Sometimes He answers our prayer quickly, but sometimes we need to wait patiently. It might take a week, a month, a year, or even a dozen years or decades. But the one thing for sure, God never forgets us. He knows the right time and the right thing for us. He cares about us.

Trust in God; He will complete what He has begun. He has promised us this through the Apostle of Paul. “..being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ.” (Philippians 1:6)

 

Never lose hope, because God is able to complete the good work He has begun.
