Genesis Eight\u2026<\/em>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Verses 1-22\u2026.<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

   Noah and all the life with him were in the ark for just over twelve months (verse 14). For just over five months the waters kept rising, then the rain stopped and the tide started to drop. Seven months after Noah went into it, he felt the ark bump into something hard and it stuck fast.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a0\u00a0 Noah kept looking out and three months later he could see the tops of the mountains again. What a day that would have been! But it was not God\u2019s time to leave the ark yet. Noah had learned through the years to WAIT until God told him to move. \u00a0\u00a0 But that didn’t stop him testing what was going on and he sent a raven out which didn’t come back. So he sent a dove and it returned, and a week later he sent it out again. This time it came back with a green leaf in its beak. But it still wasn\u2019t God\u2019s time\u2026.the plants and grass had to grow again to give the animals enough food to survive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 At last the day came\u2026..what a day of rejoicing that was! Noah was full of thankfulness and praise to God as he took some of the \u201cclean\u201d animals and birds to make a sacrifice to Him (verses 20-21a) <\/em>which God accepted. This gave God much pleasure and He put the rainbow in the sky as a sign that He would never again destroy the earth in such a way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Noah learned as he walked life\u2019s way, To obey his God from day to day,<\/em><\/strong> We too must wait, for God WILL lead, As we look to Him and His Word read.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
