Genesis 9
RAINBOWS

When God makes a promise, we can be sure he will never break it. The promises of people may come and go, and often get broken, but it is a different story with God. God always keeps his promises and we can depend on what he says. The best reminder to show us that God will never break his promises is the rainbow.

It was after the flood of Noah that God put a rainbow in the sky. He said, “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.” (Genesis 9 v 14 – 15).

The rainbow is a reminder to God that he will never destroy the earth with a flood again. The rainbow is also a reminder for us that we need not fear a world-wide flood again. But more than that, the rainbow reminds us that God keeps his promises. This particular promise has been kept for 5000 years, even though our wickedness must be as bad – or even worse – than it was in the days of Noah.

God keeps his promises. So when we come to other promises given to us in the Bible, let’s remember the rainbow and never doubt what God has said. Look at a rainbow and increase your faith.

May our faith stand strong in 2024.

With love in our Lord
