God Wants Me to Be Faithful

God cares for the faithful
Genesis 8:1

Read the Bible through:
AM - Job 1-3 : PM - Acts 10:24-28

Then God remembered Noah, and every living thing, and all the animals that were with him in the ark. And God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters subsided (Gen. 8:1).

So how long did Noah stay on the Ark? Did he have any idea how long he and his family would be on the ark before he entered this floating houseboat? If we were in Noah's sandals, these are questions we might ask God. Our culture makes us driven by time, but for Noah time was not a concern. His purpose was to be faithful and obedient. He trusted God's care.

Sally prayed many years for her husband to become a Christian. In God's time, her husband surrendered his life to his Savior. Sally followed Noah's example by being faithful to both God and her husband. Why did she have to wait so long? Perhaps the same reason Noah waited a long time. The point is "God remembered Noah."

When we are faithful and obedient, we give God the opportunity to remember us and love us with His care.

Lord, I know You remember me and You care for me.
Thank You.
