Read chapter 8.
So how long was Noah actually in the ark? Everyone knows it rained 40 days and 40 nights, but from this chapter it was obviously longer waiting for the flood waters to recede, for dry land and vegetation to walk on and eat and ultimately for God's calling to tell him to come out. It was right around a full year that Noah and his family were on the ark. Talk about stir craziness- practice patience. Especially when the hardest part has past, there's still waiting till the renewed life comes. What "floods" in your life seem to last longer and have ripple effects as you're waiting for God to call you out of them?
