After the waters began to recede and the mountains appeared, Noah did not rush ahead. Instead, he waited, Waiting for the Right Time, seeking confirmation that God’s timing, not his own, would determine the next step. Genesis 8:6–12 teaches the discipline of patience and discernment.

The dove’s failure to return was a clear sign: the earth was ready. Noah did not force his way out of the ark—he waited for God’s signal.
