REMEMBRANCE BY THOUGHTFUL KINDLINESS - PART 5

FRIDAY 13 JUNE 2025

An earnest desire to be reverently godly and to entirely live for God in a crooked generation is a great treasure, which attracts honourable and rewarding remembrance from God. It is something real that moves God to remember us in a way that kindly adds and multiplies His blessings in our faith walk with Him. It equally exalts His loving nature which is inclined to goodness and mercy, rather than to intensity of wrathful judgment. More below!

Reference: Genesis 8:1 Amplified Bible (AMP)

"And God remembered and thought kindly of Noah and every living thing and all the animals that were with Him in the ark; and God made a wind blow over the land, and the waters receded."

To expound the above versified reference beyond their surface-level denotation, I have split the verse into two segmentary differentiations, for clarified enlightenment:

1. And God remembered and thought kindly of Noah and every living thing and all the animals that were with Him in the ark.

2. And God made a wind blow over the land, and the waters receded.

Today's article is majored on gaining a better understanding of how God remembers us and defines our next move or level after an intervening period of deliverance and salvation, and how we can truly acknowledge His remarkable remembrance in our lives, which tremendously enriches us through His good and thoughtful planning.

If God remembered and thought kindly of Noah and every living thing, such as the animals that were with Him in the ark, then the ark is a "positioning aptness" for His collective favoured purpose. His remembrance covered all things, meaning that even the animals that were with Noah in the ark were all significant to God.

His desire was that every living thing in the ark would experience open success, by coming out of the ark. So you can imagine that God didn't just think kindly of Noah, but also He cared about everything that accompanied Him to the ark, regardless of how great or small they are. Simply put, if they are connected to you as the godly, He is highly delighted to take care of them all. To that effect, the Bible says:

"By the first day of the first month of Noah’s six hundred and first year, the water had dried up from the earth. Noah then removed the covering from the ark and saw that the surface of the ground was dry. By the twenty-seventh day of the second month the earth was completely dry. Then God said to Noah, "Come out of the ark, you and your wife and your sons and their wives. Bring out every kind of living creature that is with you—the birds, the animals, and all the creatures that move along the ground—so they can multiply on the earth and be fruitful and increase in number on it" (Genesis 8:13-17 NIV).

For more goodness-inspired reasons, God cares about all the details accurately. Are not five sparrows sold for two copper coins? Yet not one of them has [ever] been forgotten in the presence of God (Luke 12:6 AMP). In addition, apart from the differences between humans and animal race that determine their diverse nature of bodily and earthly functions, His collective purpose for everyone and everything in the ark was that of multiplication, fruitfulness and increment in vast number, and in having such resultant outcomes, God will continue to run an earthly systematic plan or arrangement that achieves His objective for creating the entire world (Genesis 8:22 NLT). 

Pauline epistolary revelation read:

"Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable His judgments, and His paths beyond tracing out!...For from Him and through Him and for Him are all things. To Him be the glory forever! Amen." (Romans 11:33;36). Stay tuned for part 6. Shalom!

Scripture Reading: Genesis 1:20-21; Psalm 147:9; Nehemiah 9:6; Matthew 6:26; Luke 12:7.

Guided Prayer:

Heavenly Father, it is by your glory and virtue that you have made all living creatures available on earth to function in accordance with the original purpose for which you created them, and therefore, I thank you for granting me all things that pertain unto life and godliness, as I live for your pleasure on earth, in Jesus' Name, Amen.
