Genesis 9



 We see the sign of promise, the rainbow, spoken of here. A promise God won't use water to destroy all the Earth again. The interesting side note about a rainbow is that it's not a bow. The light cast from the Sun that forms a rainbow actually produces a circle but usually, we cannot see it from where we're standing. If you have the opportunity to fly on a plane above clouds you might see a full circle of the rainbow. For me, it is a reminder that then we only see part of the promise and part of the plan where God from above can see it all.


Just a personal experience: years ago my family was traveling in a car and spotted a rainbow. We turned to where it looked like it landed in the ground and we found it. I can tell you for a certain there's no gold but what I did see was amazing. The car seemed filled with glimmering and shining colors. It wasn't the same as having a light shined with a colored lens it seemed as left there was a glitter in the air with the color. It's hard to describe but it was amazing. To me just a wonderful reminder of how amazing God's creation is.
