The opening phrase is “God remembered”. This statement is used whenever God starts to work in the deliverance of someone. It is not as if God forgot that Noah and his family where in the Ark He designed and commissioned. But even after God started to work it took many days to see that Noah and his family were able to leave the Ark. Even during our struggles the answer and the deliverance is happening. We may continue in our trial a little longer, but God is at work.
Look at how this year played out for Noah:
- Rain continued 40 days
- Waters prevailed a total of 150 days
- Waters subside 99 days
- Noah delays 40 days
- Sending of the raven and the dove 20 days
- Another month 29 days
- Interval until the 27th of the 2nd month 56 days
- Sum-total of days 365 days
God was at work the whole year. Through all the experiences we have seen this past year, remember God was and is at work.
