"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.”
God said to Noah, “This is the sign of the covenant
that I have established between me and all flesh that is on the earth.”
Genesis 9:16-17
There is a covenant from the Lord to Noah. He was pleased with Noah keeping the command of building an ark and preparing the safety of the chosen few with the living things that God ordained for safety. The rainbow signifying that the Lord had placed his weapon of offense to rest. The bow no longer pointing to the world in wrath but rested- that is, in terms of water related judgement. God though everyone else be unfaithful, He is faithful. He is faithful til the very end. The last judgement being with fire, He indeed keeps His word. We ought to be watchful and careful and contemplative in regards to the Lord's guidance in our lives. What would the Creator of our souls desire us to do in each circumstance? Seeking His desires over ours, we dare not step beyond the boundaries He has laid before us..
