New Beginnings, Day 8

God remembered. Read Genesis chapter 8.

New beginnings can feel very lonely sometimes. If you have truly left the things in the past, there’s always that time in between. That time before you have built new relationships, made those new connections, and started those new habits. During that time it’s easy to feel lonely. There’s a huge temptation to go back to what you were doing before because it was comfortable.

I’m sure during this time of flooding that Noah felt lonely. As we we read here, God remembered Noah. While Noah may have felt alone, he was never truly alone. God was with him and he was going to take care of him provide for him. But, it doesn’t always feel that way in the midst of starting again.

If you are in the midst of starting again, I suspect that you feel lonely, too. Know that feelings are not necessarily truth, and that while it may feel lonely, God is there always moving and always working. Continue to trust, even in the lonely times because God is bringing you to the new beginning that he wants for you.
