Bible Commentary

Genesis 7:10

God said seven days (v4) and after seven days it happened (v10). The precision is not accidental — it reinforces that God's word is utterly reliable. What He says will happen, happens.

Memory phrase: God's timing is always right.

Talk about it: What is it like to wait for something you know is coming? How did those seven days in the ark feel, do you think?

Prayer: God, help me to trust Your timing even when I have to wait.
