God's Covenant with Noah

Genesis 9:12-13 " And God said, "This is the sign of the covenant I am making between me and you and every living creature with you, a covenant for all generations to come: I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth."

The rainbow is God's promise to never flood the entire earth and destroy man and animal again. Each time it rains have you noticed the beautiful rainbow set in the sky among the clouds? It shines out to us as a reminder of the promise God made to Noah and his family and for every generation after that.

God remembers this covenant each time the rainbow appears in the sky. And it should be a reminder to all of us today also of our history, what happens when we disobey God, of how merciful our Lord is with us, and how He longs to have a very personal relationship with each of us.
