I have set my bow in the clouds, and it shall be a sign of the covenant between me and the earth. Genesis 9:13
This scripture tells the story of God’s promise to Noah after the flood. The world was washed clean. Noah and his family now had the opportunity to begin again. God showed them a new start, the rainbow. It was a sign. A beautiful message in the sky. Even more, it showed His love, mercy, and faithfulness to His people.
When we read the whole chapter, we see that God cares deeply for life. He blesses Noah and his family. The rainbow stands as a reminder that God is patient and that His heart toward us is peace.
For us today, the rainbow still speaks to us. The rainbow shows us that God’s love is greater than our worries and that His promises last forever. And just as the rainbow points to God’s covenant, it also points us to Jesus — the greatest sign of God’s love and grace.
So the next time we see a rainbow after the storm, may it remind us: God is faithful, He is with us, and His love never fails.
Thank you for the rainbow that reminds us of Your promise and Your love. When life feels hard or uncertain, help us to remember that You are always with us and that Your word never changes. May every rainbow remind us of Your peace and grace. Amen.
