Jordan - Genesis 8

If you've come within a few feet of David in your life, chances are you know he likes animals.  He has all sorts of them now and he routinely carries them around in a little lunchbox.  He's protective and although he can't really express it he has them all categorized and counted.  He knows them all.  It shouldn't surprise you that he loves reading about Noah and the Ark.  I think he likes it because not only is about animals, but its about the care of animals and keeping them safe and in order.

"But God remembered Noah and all the wild animals and all the domestic animals that were with him in the ark." (v. 1)

Just as God calls each one of us by name, he knows all of creation with such intimacy, even the animals.  And while I might think about this and wonder about the impossibility of knowing all of that, David would just look at his lunchbox and know how its possible.
