/*God remembered Noah ... -- Genesis 8:1*/

Wait a second! Hadn't God been thinking about Noah all along? How could 
God "remember" Noah?

On the surface it looks like God was preoccupied with something else, 
and then the kitchen timer went off, and God looked up and said, "Oh, 
yeah, that guy in the boat. I'd better do something about him."

Let me suggest another passage that might help explain this one: Psalm 
78:65: "Then the Lord awoke as from sleep, as a man wakes from the 
stupor of wine."

Did God really wake up? Was God really asleep?

Of course not. But God knows that it seems that way to us sometimes. It 
probably seemed to Noah like God was preoccupied with something else. It 
may seem that way to you and to me.

At the right moment, God's intervention will be there. In our minds, it 
will seem like God "awoke," like God "remembered" us. But He isn't 
sleeping, and He has us in mind even as you read these words.

Be encouraged!
