"But God remembered Noah..." Genesis 8:1
What an amazing story! Because of sin, God judged the earth with a great flood that wiped out every living thing. After years of building the ark, the bible tells us that, God remembered Noah.
In life, few things are as distressing as the feeling of being forgotten by God. Many have encountered this sensation at some point. I recall a period two years ago when I felt cut off from support due to illness and a lack of communion with Christian friends. Unanswered prayers lead to discouragement. We withdraw from potential sources of support. Instead of seeking out help, we wait for others to come to our aid. We indulge in self-pity, and as we grapple with our issues in solitude, our problems swell like tumultuous waters inundating our existence. In such moments, where can we turn?
The story of Noah and the flood reinforces my faith, reminding me that God is unchanging and true to His word. He extends the same love to us as He did to Noah.
On this particularly chilly and wintry day in Auckland, my thoughts and prayers go out to those braving the cold. Praying for others deepens my empathy for those enduring hardships greater than my own.
Reflecting on Noah's story, who obeyed God's command to build an ark over many years, I'm moved by his patience. Despite the rain delay, he persisted, and God remembered him, as the Bible recounts.
To anyone disheartened by unanswered prayers, or feeling forgotten by God, remember: in times of silence, God remains steadfast. His plan will unfold in due time. We shall transition from illness to health, scarcity to abundance, according to His provision. Let's hold on to hope and not give up.
Let's pray,
Heavenly Father, in the difficult seasons we go through, we need You and we are thankful that our prayers will not expire. You will not forget us indeed - You will remember the cry of our hearts, Amen! (prayer quoted from - "Lord, I need you" by Sandy Lynam Clough).
God bless and thank you for visiting.
