Genesis 9:16
“Whenever the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant I have established between me and all life on the earth”
One of the great Bible stories told to children is the story of Noah’s
Scripture tells us the rainbow is a ‘reminder’ to God of His covenant. When God sees rain and He sees the rainbow, He remembers that the earth was already cleansed by the rain.
In heaven, the Father is seated surrounded by angels, the elders, jewels and a sea of glass (I can’t do Revelation 4 justice in a little devotion!) - and there is a rainbow (Revelation 4:3) and Jesus, the Lamb of God, is there (Revelation 5:6). The Father sees Jesus and He sees the rainbow. He remembers that you and I have been already been cleansed by the Christ!
Rainbows are hardly mentioned in Scripture but it appears again in Revelation when the angel who has the Book of Life appears (Revelation 10:1). He also comes with a reminder of God’s covenant!
Everything that was put on Jesus, God will never put on us again. Set a reminder for yourself that Christ has come and washed away all your sins, sickness, poverty, fears, anxiety. Receive your inheritance. The covenant has been made and God does not forget it.
Prayer for this week: Father, thank you for your redeeming work. I want to know more about Jesus and how He has given me everything. No matter what happens, I can always rely on what was done for me at the cross.
