After a storm, the first thing that I look for is a rainbow. Sometimes there is only a half of one. On the other hand, if you get very lucky you can see one that is double and stretches across the horizon. Those double rainbows speak very loud to me. It reminds me of the promises God made to me as well as everyone else.
A rainbow looks like a multi-colored banner in the sky but there are some in our society that have actually used it as a banner and flag to represent something that god doesn’t like or approve of. Those types of acts make Him angry, it is not that He is angry with the people; He loves them and always has from the beginning of time.
Rainbows represent a covenant or a promise not a movement to make people be accepted He already accepts them. The world makes it hard for them. And sadly, there are religious people out there that do not even speak the truth. God does love everyone, no matter what life they are living. Next time you see that rainbow in the sky know that God made a promise and He does not go back on His promises.
Genesis 9:13-17 (NKJV)13. I set My rainbow in the cloud, and it shall be for the sign of the covenant between Me and the earth.
14. It shall be, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the rainbow shall be seen in the cloud;
15. and I will remember My covenant which is between Me and you and every living creature of all flesh; the waters shall never again become a flood to destroy all flesh.
16. The rainbow shall be in the cloud, and I will look on it to remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth.”
17. And God said to Noah, “This is the sign of the covenant which I have established between Me and all flesh that is on the earth.”
Ezekiel 1:28 (NKJV)
28. Like the appearance of a rainbow in a cloud on a rainy day, so was the appearance of the brightness all around it. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the LORD.
2 Peter 3:9 (NKJV)
9. The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.
Revelation 4:3 (NKJV)
3. And He who sat there was like a jasper and a sardius stone in appearance;
and there was a rainbow around the throne, in appearance like an emerald.
