I think it speaks to the destructive nature of sin and no amount of pleading and telling will help people who do not want to be saved. We must recognize sin as the destructive force that it is and repent.

Remembering God means to trust Him. Remembering the Sabbath day means to keep it holy, or remembering the laws of God means to obey them.

-c...Gen 8:1 "But God remembered Noah..."<br />-can you imagine being in an ark for 40 days, never having even seen rain & wondering how long this would be (feeling abandoned & really not knowing how things would play out)<br />-do we sometimes feel as though God directed us & then left us<br />-or maybe what he's doing in us/to us/through us is taking much longer than we'd like<br />-God hasn't forgotten us or left us<br /><br />Gen 8:15 & 16 Then God said to Noah, "Come out of the ark..."<br />-Noah sent out birds to check if the land was dry, but he did not leave until God directed him<br />-what an example of patience & waiting on the Lord (for God's timing not ours)<br /><br />Just my thoughtsdanaehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04607224784900302625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4094248114996261058.post-91452569460395636132016-01-03T14:20:35.006-06:002016-01-03T14:20:35.006-06:00Every time we look at a rainbow in the sky, we are...Every time we look at a rainbow in the sky, we are not only reminded of God's promise to never flood the earth again, but also all the other promises He has made. God promises that He is for us, He loves us, He believes in us, He won't fail us, He is with us, He will provide for us, He will bless us, He will give us rest, He will strengthen us, He will answer us. These are just a few of the promises God has made for us, and as the song we sang in church today said, "we will remember the works of Your hands". Did you notice that during that song, there was a rainbow as the background of the lyrics on the screen?Emmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06714834489767014487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4094248114996261058.post-5560762324614657542016-01-03T08:54:32.328-06:002016-01-03T08:54:32.328-06:00A verse that stood out to me was Gen 8:22
"W...A verse that stood out to me was Gen 8:22<br /> "While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night, shall not cease.”<br /><br />It is amazing how the sun keeps rising and the moon still shows, plants keep growing and the seasons change and then change back again every year. This is truly amazing, and could not be done by anything but God. If their was no God, these things would run out and stop, like anything man made they would lose their charge or energy and be dead, unable to be brought back to life. God continues to make these things work to this day, what a great example to show to those who doubt God's existence. <br />Nathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05983845317182469954noreply@blogger.com
