—Genesis 8:1-12
by: Leota Stevens.
The trials that Noah faced while at sea must have intensified once the ship actually struck solid ground. Undoubtedly, the animals and humans were suffering from cabin fever and longed to be able to escape to a place of their own, where they could experience some quiet and solitude. When our own activity is curbed by God, and we haven’t been released from the circumstance that constrains us, perhaps it is our opportunity to deeply reflect on God’s word and allow patience and perseverance to be our anchor until God reveals the time for our release.
