In the Noah story as the flood progresses God becomes strangely absent. All God’s words to Noah stopped once God shut the door behind those who have entered the ark. Noah in his circumstances has no idea how long he will be in the ark. And in this moment, we’re all in the story. This story intersects with our story. We have all, at some level, been there-asking where was God? We are going to discover that Emmanuel is aware and that He cares and that He is with us in it and that He can see us through it.
