The ark was lifted by the very waters that destroyed. This is the paradox of God's salvation — what brings judgment to the world becomes the means of elevation for those in the ark. God uses the same storm to test and to elevate.
Memory phrase: The flood lifted Noah up.
Talk about it: The same water that was dangerous outside kept the ark afloat. What does that tell you about how God uses hard things for good?
Prayer: God, even in hard times, lift me up and keep me safe.
