The storm seemed like it would never end, days were dreary, and the confinement to the inside of the ark was about more than they could stand. Those amateur seafarers must have wondered if they had been forgotten. When they could not endure anymore, “God remembered;” and God remembers you in your storms also.

In life’s troubles we are remembered: “…You will be remembered before the Lord your God, and you will be delivered.” Numbers 10:9

When John saw the throne room of heaven, he saw a rainbow surrounding the throne (Revelation 4:3). Its meaning is clear: We have a God who remembers. He said in Genesis that when He looked upon the rainbow He would remember His covenant.

Pat usually finds the rainbows in the clouds; and when we see it we remember that God remembers. Faith whispers that even if we can’t see it, “God still remembers.”

The Apostle Paul encountered a great storm. He wrote, “When all hope of being saved had been abandoned…there stood by me an angel of God to whom I belong and whom I worship, and he said, ‘do not be afraid’…so keep up your courage for I have faith in God.”

“When the storms of life are raging; stand by me.
When the storms of life are raging; stand by me.
When the world is tossing me like a ship upon the sea
Thou Who rul-est wind and water, Stand by me.”
