Genesis 9:14-15 ” Whenever I bring clouds over the earth and the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will remember My covenant between Me and you and all living creatures of every kind. Never again will the waters become a flood to destroy all life.”

After the great flood, this was the covenant between God and Noah.  But it is also a covenant between all of mankind for generations to come.  It goes on to say in verse 16, “Whenever the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and all living creatures of every kind on the earth.”  So the next time you notice a rainbow in the sky, stop and reflect upon what you’re seeing and what it actually stands for…a promise from God that’s eternal, everlasting, and forever.

Genesis 9:11 ” I establish My covenant with you; never again will all life be cut off by the waters of a flood; never again will there be a flood to destroy the earth.”

The sign of the promise made by God to Noah was a rainbow…a everlasting covenant that we still see today when the sunshine breaks through the rain clouds.  This arch of colors is used both in the Old and New Testament to describe the glory of God.  Ezekiel 1:28 says that the glory of God was a radiance around Him like a rainbow.  And John describes a rainbow encircling God’s Throne in Revelation 4:3.  So the next time you spy a rainbow, take a moment to be in awe of God’s magnificent glory on display for you.
