Genesis 8:1-3

And God remembered Noah, and every living thing, and all the cattle that was with him in the ark: and God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters asswaged;

The fountains also of the deep and the windows of heaven were stopped, and the rain from heaven was restrained;

And the waters returned from off the earth continually: and after the end of the hundred and fifty days the waters were abated.

A believer always suspects that perhaps God has forgotten him or his prayers. However, God remembers all His people all the time. God had calculated the time for the floodwaters to subside over the earth within one hundred and fifty days. Hence, God took care of Noah and every living thing in the ark. This principle applies to all His people who are waiting for God as if in His ark.

During sufferings, you need not fear or be confused about what has happened to you, because God had arranged everything for you. To cause the waters to abate, God stopped the fountains of the deep and the windows of heaven, and the rain from heaven was restrained as well. If you are experiencing trials from God, you need not worry about difficult environments or adverse situations, because God will resolve everything for you, just as He did for Noah and every living thing. You are more precious in the eyes of God than all the cattle.

God had measured all your sufferings so that you are able to bear them. Therefore, He appointed an ending time for what you endure. It is as though God appointed a timeline to abate the waters over one hundred and fifty days. God not only arranges everything for His people, but also sets up the time for them. Above all, God keeps His people in His heart and remembers them always.
