Acknowledging God
The Lord God, The Almighty
Genesis 9:8-17 The Message
8-11 Then God spoke to Noah and his sons: “I’m setting up my covenant with you including your children who will come after you, along with everything alive around you—birds, farm animals, wild animals—that came out of the ship with you. I’m setting up my covenant with you that never again will everything living be destroyed by floodwaters; no, never again will a flood destroy the Earth.”
12-16 God continued, “This is the sign of the covenant I am making between me and you and everything living around you and everyone living after you. I’m putting my rainbow in the clouds, a sign of the covenant between the Earth and me. From now on, when I form a cloud over the Earth, and the rainbow appears in the cloud, I’ll remember my covenant between me and you and everything living, that never again will floodwaters destroy all life. When the rainbow appears in the cloud, I’ll see it and remember the eternal covenant between God and everything living, every last living creature on Earth.”
17 And God said, “This is the sign of the covenant that I’ve set up between me and everything living on the Earth.”
For Reflection
God's covenant confirms the continuation of the human race. The sign of that covenant is the rainbow. It is a recurring symbol of God's promise. The earth has been purified and reborn. Noah is the new Adam. God secured the reboot with a promise. Noah is the best of humankind in the worst times. The spark of righteousness lives in Noah and us all.
Pray
Pray in search of your inner Noah. Look for the desires deeply embedded in your soul. Pray and discover your path to righteousness in the likeness of Jesus Christ.
