Genesis 9: Students

The Promise in the Rainbow

Verse: Genesis 9:16 (New Living Translation) "When I see the rainbow in the clouds, I will remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature on earth."

You've just faced a personal 'flood' - a failure, a heartbreak, or a letdown. You're in search of hope and reassurance. Think of Genesis 9 and God's promise to Noah.

After the flood, God set a rainbow in the sky, a symbol of His promise never to destroy the earth with a flood again. This divine covenant, symbolized by the beautiful array of colors, was a beacon of hope after a tumultuous time.

Similarly, you'll face 'floods' in life - disappointments, failures, or heartaches. But remember, just like God didn't abandon Noah, He won't abandon you. After every 'flood', there's a rainbow - God's promise of better days ahead.

As you navigate through the storms of life, look for the 'rainbows' - God's promises in His Word. They are your beacon of hope in times of despair and your assurance that God is always with you, even when the clouds darken.

Pause & Pray:

1. Thank God for His promise to be with you, even in the most challenging times.
2. Ask God to help you recognize His 'rainbows' - His promises in your life.
3. Pray for the strength to remain faithful and hopeful, even when facing life's 'floods'.
