Genesis 9 NASB
11“I establish My covenant with you; and all flesh shall never again be cut off by the water of the flood, neither shall there again be a flood to destroy the earth.” 12God said, “This is the sign of the covenant which I am making between Me and you and every living creature that is with you, for all successive generations; 13I set My bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a sign of a covenant between Me and the earth. 14“It shall come about, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow will be seen in the cloud, 15and I will remember My covenant, which is between Me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and never again shall the water become a flood to destroy all flesh. 16“When the bow is in the cloud, then I will look upon it, to remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth.”
I deviated from the norm today to point out one of Gods promises. I've read and heard it mentioned before but it didn't sink in until today.
God has made a promise to Noah and us; "neither shall there again be a flood to destroy the earth."
I had to drive to another town yesterday in the rain, round trip was two hours. During the drive the rain became bad at times and on one occasion I saw God's promise. I saw a beautiful rainbow. A bow in the cloud.
The bible is full of promises for us, all you have to do is recognize them.
The rainbow promise was made to Noah and "for all successive generations;". Since God destroyed the earth with a great flood and Noah and his family were the only mankind to survive, it would be safe to say we are "successive generations".
Next time it rains look for His bow in the cloud and remember His promise to you! "When the bow is in the cloud, then I will look upon it, to remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth.”"
Thank you God for your promises to us! May we never forget them. Amen
Blessings, David
