GOD REMEMBERS
READ:
Genesis 8:1-17
________________________________________________________
God remembered
Noah, and every
living thing, and all
the animals that were
with him in the ark.
__Genesis 8:1

A Chinese festival called Quing Ming is a time to express grief for lost relatives. Customs include grooming gravesites and taking walks with loved ones in the countryside. Legend has it that it began when a youth's rude and foolish behavior resulted in the death of his mother. So he decided that henceforth he would visit her grave every year to remember what she had done for him. Sadly, it was only after her death that he remembered her.
How differently God deals with us! In Genesis, we read how the flood destroyed the world. Only those who were with Noah in the ark remained alive. But God remembered them (8:1) and sent a wind to dry the waters so that they could leave the ark.
God also remembered Hannah when she prayed for a son (1 Sam. 1:19). He gave her a child, Samuel.
Jesus remembered the dying thief who said, "Lord, remember me when You come into Your kingdom." Jesus replied, "Today You will be with Me in Paradise" (Luke 23:42-43).
God remembers us wherever we are. Our concerns are His concerns. Our pain is His pain. Commit your challenges and difficulties to Him. He is the all-seeing God who remembers us as a mother remembers her children, and He waits to meet our needs. __C. P. Hia

***************Today's Bible Reading __ Genesis 8:1-17***********
1 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. 2 The fountains of
the deep and the windows of
heaven were also stopped,
and the rain from heaven
was restrained. 3 And the
waters receded continually
from the earth. At the end of
the hundred and fifty days
the waters decreased. 4 Then
the ark rested in the seventh
month, the seventeenth day
of the month, on the
mountains of Ararat. 5 And
the waters decreased
continually until the tenth
month....
13 And it came to pass in
the six hundred and first
year, in the first month, the
first day of the month, that
the waters were dried up
from the earth; and Noah
removed the covering of the
ark and looked, and indeed
the surface of the ground
was dry. 14 And in the second
month, on the twenty-
seventh day of the month,
the earth was dried.
15 Then God spoke to Noah,
sayng, 16 "Go out of the ark,
you and your wife, and your
sons and your sons' wives
with you. 17 Bring out with
you every living thing of all
flesh that is with you: birds
and cattle and every creeping
thing that creeps on the
earth, so that they may
abound on the earth, and be
fruitful and multiply on the
earth."
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>INSIGHT<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
God remembered Noah, and he responded in faith and obedience.
"By faith Noah, being divinely warned of things not yet seen moved
with godly fear, prepared an ark for the saving of his household, by
which he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness
which is according to faith" (Heb. 11:7). __dennis Fisher
