God instructed Noah to build an ark, because He was going to destroy the earth. Noah did all that the Lord required of Him. Then, the Lord shut Noah in the ark. Noah was 'shut in the will of God'. Then, in due season, "God remembered Noah." Genesis 6-8
When God places us somewhere, even though we often feel as if we've been forgotten by Him, He remembers exactly where He's put us. And He will, at the proper time, in due season, remember us; just as He did Noah.
Oh, God, may I always be patient and wait for your perfect timing in my life and be comforted in knowing that you will never forget where you've placed me. Just because I don't see you moving in my life right now, Lord, doesn't mean that You're not.
The floodwaters in my life might not have subsided, as of yet. Please, Lord, help me always to remember that, as long as I am shut in Your will, I am safe. Help me to take comfort in knowing that at the proper time, in due season, You will remember me; just as You did Noah. "But God remembered Noah ..." Genesis 8:1

What Is Your Name?
"So Jacob was left alone, and a man wrestled with him till daybreak. 25.) When the man saw that he could not overpower him, he touched the socket of Jacob's hip so that his hip was wrenched as he wrestled with the man ... 27.) The man asked him, "What is your name?" "Jacob," he answered." (Genesis 32:24-27)
God's Chosen Vessel
"The earth trembles under an unloved woman..."Proverbs 30:21-23
Pulled to Safety
"With the coming of dawn, the angels urged Lot, saying, Hurry! Take your wife and your two daughters who are here, or you will be swept away when the city is punished. When he hesitated, the men grasped his hand and the hands of his wife and of his two daughters and led them safely out of the city, for the LORD was merciful to them." Genesis 19:15-16
