in the bible, there were many examples of God's convenant with men, one such example was the convenant that God made with Noah. i was reading this particular passge two nights back and i thought of sharing.
according to the dictionary, a convenant is:
1. A binding agreement; a compact. or
2. A formal sealed agreement or contract.
i'm sure many of you would be familiar with the flooding of the world, and Noah's ark where he was required to bring along with him "seven of every kind of clean animal, a male and its mate, and two of every kind of unclean animal, a male and its mate, and also seven of every kind of bird, male and female, to keep their various kinds alive throughout the earth." Genesis 7:2-3
after the flood, God felt bad and said in His heart, "Never again will I curse the ground because of man, even though every inclination of his heart is evil from childhood. And never again will I destroy all living creatures, as I have done." Genesis 8:21
so God made a convenant with Noah and his descendants, which means us, that He will never flood the earth again. the rainbow is a sign of God's promise. so people, whenever you guys see a rainbow, remember God's covenant with us, remember that God will never flood the earth again. *smilez*
there you have it again, daily bread for your soul!
"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 9:14-15
