Genesis 7:1

Sometimes we grow anxious about all the things that could possibly go wrong in our lives or the lives of our loved ones, but there is always hope for the children of God. We may encounter hardships—​clearly God allows his children to experience crises—​but they are never greater than we can bear (even though it may at times feel like they are). It’s easy to want to give up, especially when we feel overwhelmed or alone. However, God is always present either to keep us from adversity or to strengthen and equip us in the midst of it. God saw the righteousness of Noah’s family and delivered them through the deluge. He remembered them. He protected them, and he can protect us too.
