When the bow is in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth. Genesis 9:16
Catastrophic hurricanes, devastating tornadoes, blustery storms…these words can describe the tumultuous weather we have experienced across the earth over the years. Together with our faith in God and humankind, regions such as Puerto Rico, the Bahamas and countless other nations have survived the devastating effects of these acts. People have proven themselves to be resilient, and over and over again, have displayed the will to survive and band together. Donations have poured in and volunteers have answered their call to action.
The passage above reminds us that through pain, there is happiness, through adversity, there is opportunity, and through severe storms, there are rainbows on the other side. After the storm, when we look up and see a rainbow, we are reminded that God is with us, and has kept his promise to all living things, to help guide us through the storm, and give us the strength to endure, rebuild, and prosper.
God thank you for giving us rainbows to help us remember that you are always with us. Amen.
