A few moments ago, I drove down a country road close to my home. Contemplating how the day had played out, how it hadn’t; my thoughts traveled on to lament, how the beautiful sunshine that had, graced the entire day had turned to rain, thunder, and moisture-filled skies. The road (in front of me) was covered with thunderheads, and the wind was picking up when I noticed faintly hovering in the clouds., a rainbow! It had to be one and I could see it from one end to the other bowing across those thunderheads passing through a spot of light. the clouds darkened as the spot of light widened and brightened. Letting the rainbow colors come out just a touch more. Suddenly the day wasn’t going to hell. I remembered God’s promise and the future became much brighter.
Genesis 9:12-17…
12 God said: This is the sign of the covenant that I am making between me and you and every living creature with you for all ages to come: 13 I set my bow in the clouds to serve as a sign of the covenant between me and the earth. 14 When I bring clouds over the earth, and the bow appears in the clouds,15 I will remember my covenant between me and you and every living creature—every mortal being—so that the waters will never again become a flood to destroy every mortal being. 16 When the bow appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature—every mortal being that is on earth. 17 God told Noah: This is the sign of the covenant I have established between me and every mortal being that is on earth.
Regardless of what the world now tells us about the meaning of rainbows, the truth is that rainbows are a sign of God’s promise to us that he will not destroy the earth by flood again.
Recently I posted a YouTube link for the video “Is Genesis History”. Now might be a good time to watch that.
