Rainbows are the sign God gave Noah and his descendants of the covenant He made not to flood the earth again: “This is the sign of the covenant I am making between me and you and every living creature with you, a covenant for all generations to come: I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth. 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. Whenever the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and all living creatures of every kind on the earth.” (Gen 9:12-16) Because of this, I always love to see rainbows. They are a vivid visual reminder of the faithfulness of God.
Tonight we saw a wonderful rainbow in Goldthorpe:
