God Remembers - Genesis 8-11

This section opens with a great statement about God's character and His plans for our lives: "But God remembered Noah and all the beasts and all the cattle there were with him in the ark ..." God remembers! God is a God who does not forsake His plan and remembers the people in His plan. He remembers where He "puts" us. He remembers what He has planned for us. He remembers our confinement when He puts us into confinement and opens the heavens to give us freedom. It says He "caused a wind" to blow on the earth to dry up the land. So, we learn that God not only remembers he also acts on that memory and provides what we need. That is reasssuring to those who walk with God. We are not left in the widerness (Moses), or in the pasture (David), or in the lion's den (Daniel), or in the fire (the three Hebrew boys), or in the grave (Jesus Christ). We are remembered by God and cared for by Him. Rejoice in His memory and relax in His provision.
