Bow of Promise


On Saturday afternoon Mom spotted this beautiful rainbow in the sky. Here in Holland we get full rainbows that cover a huge distance. (This one was so large I couldn’t get it all in one picture.) They’re wonderful to look at! As I stood admiring the perfect blend of colors, a stroke of God’s paintbrush, I was reminded of His exceeding great and precious promises. Not one of them shall fail!

And God said, This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations: I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth. And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud: And I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh. And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth.

Genesis 9:12-16
