God's Promises Remembered # 1

And God remembered Noah and every living thing.” Genesis 8:1
Noah was a patient man. God warned him over one hundred years before the flood came that he needed to prepare the ark. He labored for all those years and it didn’t rain. He was mocked by the world for waiting for something that would never happen. Still, he labored on. He taught his sons to labor on.
And then it happened. It rained. It just didn’t drizzle; it poured. To add to the rain God opened the floodgates of heaven and the floodgates of the deep and added to the deluge. Now Noah had to practice patience again. He was a year on that smelly ark and it seemed it would never get dry. But it did.
For one hundred years Noah waited for the flood and for a year he waited for it to dry out. That was a lot of waiting, but Noah knew that God would remember him. That is an act of faith. God will remember us and His promises of another Advent of Christ as well.

Dear Father, Help me hold fast to faith in your promises.
