How often to we desperately want to hear from God but don't? You hear stories in the Bible of God communicating with His people and it seems like a common occurrence. Reading through Genesis, God commanded Noah to get on the ark. He then waited 7 days for the rains to come, it rained 40 days, and the waters swelled for another 110 days. Three weeks later his dove didn't return and another 3 months before he could see land drying. Finally, after another month, he was able to get off the ark. For 377 days, Noah was in the ark, including times of serious storms. Not until after he leaves the ark, does the Bible say God spoke to him again.
God put him in a boat, during a huge storm and appears to go silent. How did Noah react? Three things I believe he did. He did what he had to do to get through the storm, he remembered it was part of God's plan, and he remembered what God had done for him and brought him through in the past.
