“But God remembered Noah and all the wild animals and livestock with him in the boat. He sent a wind to blow across the earth, and the floodwaters began to recede.” Genesis 8:1 NLT http://bible.com/116/gen.8.1.nlt “This time the dove returned to him in the evening with a fresh olive leaf in its beak. Then Noah knew that the floodwaters were almost gone.” Genesis 8:11 NLT http://bible.com/116/gen.8.11.nlt Lol God is Funny . The verse reads as God remembered Noah 👀. like my first though was , whom else is he gonna remember, everyone else is dead now 😒. But could you imagine , if God has changed His mind . After he promised to save Noah , what if he decided to stay up in the heavens and be worshipped by the Angels . If God was anything like me , I would convince myself how stressful humans are and drown every last one of them 😊. Yet God , the creator of the universe , he coulda just hit restore factory settings on the whole universe and create just re download a whole new human race without free will , and have everything go his way (something I would've done ). Honestly God is love, and he's a God of second chances . He didn't have to care but He did and dried up the earth that they may have an opportunity to start a new life. He also made a covenant with them to promise them He wouldn't get that angry again to wipe away the coming generations On another note , the time on the boat can signify a trial period in your life . Imagine being stuck on this boat . I think I would have to jump out . The way I love my personal space and solitude . Then I'm over here smelling giraffe booty and my sibling and his wife are arguing and my parents are being annoying 🙄, someone might just get thrown off . We know that God probably provided sufficient dimensions for everyone to be comfortable, but I'm sure there was a Nicole on that boat who didn't want to see or hear people sometimes . Think about it , You can't even go for a walk and get fresh air . There are trial periods in our life where we start to feel as though , alternative options would be much better , you're thinking , the people who died must be peacefully eternally sleeping by now, but you're over here . You've been on the boat for so long , water everywhere . You even begin to wonder how at all is God gonna clear this water , He may just have to make you a mermaid at that point, restart the whole population as a marine species . Yet no , God remembered Noah, and he dried the land and he will remember you . So I'm sure you're waiting for that olive leaf to give you hope of the better days ahead . Just know God hasn't forgotten you . Keep praying on your boat , your olive branch is growing waiting to be plucked .
