Genesis 8, 9:1-17
God remembered Noah, his family and the animals, after they had been in the ark for the duration of the rains. The Lord is faithful.
Wait upon the Lord for His timing.
God's Covenant with Noah
When Noah leaves the ark he worships the Lord. Noah sets a remembering place for himself, that he might not forget the grace of the Lord. I pray that I can develop the habit of setting remembering places for myself to remind me of all that the Lord does for me.
God says he will never dishonor the ground in this way again. I remember in the beginning, the Lord said it was good. …but the intention of a man’s heart is evil from youth. Even so, God will never strike down every living creature.
There will be a reckoning; whoever sheds the blood of a man, a man made in God’s image, for this there will be a reckoning.
The Lord sets His bow in the clouds that He might remember his covenant; the covenant with every living creature. They are blessed, as we are blessed. It isn’t said, but it is implied, we are to be stewards & caretakers. If God has given the beasts for food, and not just the green plants, we will remember that they are recipients of the covenant just as we are, and just as God will not wipe out every living thing we need to remember His grace to us.
We are made in God’s image, God is merciful. We are made in His image, God is faithful. We are made in His image. I pray I remember His covenant with us.
See you tomorrow,
-Maggie
