Reposting- I did not write this, but I wanted to share it.
You know the part of Noah’s story we don’t like to talk about…
It’s not the ark.
It’s not the rain.
Or the flood.
It’s what happened after….
Because we don’t often talk enough about what happened after the miracle and after God proved Himself faithful.
Y’all Noah got drunk.
Can we sit with that a minute...
The same man who obeyed when nobody believed him…
The man who survived judgment….
The man who watched God wipe the slate clean….
Still fell apart…
And that messes with our theology.
Because we like to believe that if God brings us through something big,
we should come out healed, grateful, and strong.
But we see here in Scripture tells us something different
Because here we see surviving doesn’t mean you’ve surrendered.
Deliverance doesn’t mean you’ve you’re not numb.
And victory doesn’t automatically restore what trauma touched.
See… Some of you didn’t break before the storm.
You broke after….
After the divorce…
After the loss…
After the diagnosis…
After the season you prayed to get out of finally ended…
And instead of rest, you numbed…
Instead of confronting, you escaped….
Instead of healing, you hid.
See we don’t talk about the after part because it feels inconvenient…
But the Bible doesn’t sanitize pain.
Noah didn’t fail because he was wicked…
He fell because surviving something intense doesn’t make you immune to collapse.
And here’s a hard truth…
You can be chosen by God
and still mishandle pain.
You can be faithful
and still need healing…
You can obey God publicly
and bleed privately…
That doesn’t disqualify you it identifies where the work still needs to happen.
See God saved Noah from the flood.
But Noah still had to learn how to live after it.
And so do you…
If you’re struggling after the breakthrough, after the prayer was answered, after the season ended…
You’re not broken beyond repair.
You’re human.
So hear me…
God doesn’t just care about getting you through the storm.
He cares about who you become once it’s over.
with love ♥️
