“And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud.”
Methuselah lived 969 years and never saw it. Enoch walked with God and never saw one. Even Adam and Eve were denied this simple privilege you and I take for granted. There used to be a day when rainbows didn’t exist!
Have you ever looked at a rainbow and thought, “Thank you God for not flooding us out?” You should. The rainbow was a symbol, a definite reminder, to Noah and all his off-spring that God had made them a promise. Have you ever consider the fact that God didn’t have to make a rainbow to keep His promise. Instead He decided to make a perpetual reminder. That should teach you how important God takes His promises. He deliberately draws attention to them.
The next time you are blessed enough to see a rainbow forget the little green men with the ever-elusive pot of gold. Stop and remember that God is speaking to you, reminding you of His covenant to you. His rainbow is like a father’s supporting smile that encourages his nervous child to press on.
