God
Remembers

 
And God remembered
Noah, and every
living thing, and all
the cattle that was
with him in the ark.,.
-Genesis 8:1
 
 
When I come to the close of a year and begin
to look and plan for another year, I reflect
on the year past and am drawn to the fact of
the faithfulness of God. From the time Noah
enter the Ark and God shut the door, until he
stepped off the Ark was approximately one year.
We read in Genesis 8:l "And God remembered
Noah. .. " I wonder if Noah ever wondered dur-
ing that long year, if God had forgotten. For
certain God does not forget or have a lapse of
memory God is all knowing and all present
and certainly all powerful. God remembered
three things.
God remembered His promise (Genesis 19:29).
God remembered Abraham after his judgment
on the cities of the plain. Numbers 10: 9 says
when you go to war against the enemy, "ye shall
be remembered before the Lord your God, and
ye shall be saved from your enemies." Isaiah
49:16 says, "Behold, I have graven thee upon
the palms of my hands; the walls are continually before me."
God remembered His purpose (Genesis 8:4 "The ark rested...sev-
enth month...seventeenth day..."). Picture the cross of Calvary
on which God's Son would purchase man's redemption giving
rest for the soul.
God remembered His plan (Genesis 8:5 "...the tops of the moun-
tains seen."). God's plan for Noah was to be fruitful and multiply
physically, but more important spiritually Genesis 8:20-21. God
always remembers in all our days of our life. He has you marked
in the palms of His hands.
