Genesis 8:1 "And God remembered Noah, and every living thing, and all the cattle that was with him in the ark: and God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters asswaged;"
Have you ever been in a situation that just seemed to go on and on? You were faced with what would appear to be an impossible task. You had no idea what was going on around you. And if it ever did end, you had no idea what you would find on the other side.
In such times, we might be tempted to wonder, “Where is God?” Noah had been faithful to all that God had commanded. He built a great vessel on dry land. He preached the righteousness of God (2 Peter 2:5). He prepared to house and feed himself, his family, and all the creatures God would send to him. Then, God closed them all in the ark.
In all of these strange and trying circumstances, God remembered Noah and every living thing He had sent into the ark. The expression “God remembered” in no way implies that God forgot Noah and his circumstances for even a second. The word translated as “remembered” literally means “to mark.” God had marked Noah and all His work.
Dear ones, the next time you find yourself in a perplexing situation that seems as though it has been going on forever, remember God’s word concerning Noah. You are God’s work, and He is in control of the circumstances surrounding you. Trust Him, because He remembers (has marked) you. When the time is right, He will deliver you again to solid ground.
