GOD REMEMBERS NOAH
Passage:
Genesis 8:1-22
Key verse:
1
1. God remembers Noah
(1-17)
After destroying the sinful world with a
flood, God remembered Noah. God sent
a wind to make the waters recede, and the ark
came to rest on a mountaintop,
which safely cradled the ark while the earth
dried out. Noah sent out a raven and
a dove. When the dove brought back an olive
leaf, hope sprung in Noah’s
heart.
The second time, the dove did not return, but
Noah waited until God commanded
them to come out of the ark. Then God blessed
them to be fruitful and multiply
and renewed life on earth through them.
2. Noah thanked God
(18-22)
One year after he entered the ark, Noah came
out onto dry land. Noah’s
first
act was to build an altar and sacrifice a
burnt offering to thank God for saving his
family from judgment. God smelled the pleasing
aroma of Noah’s
offering and
accepted it. God knew the fundamental problem
of sin was not solved in man’s
heart, but because of Noah’s faith, God promised he
would never destroy the
world by a flood and that the seasons would
never fail.
Prayer Lord, thank you for remembering your servants
and preserving us as a
holy remnant.
One Word God remembers those who trust in him
