The View From My Window.

In Ireland it is not uncommon to see a rainbow after the rain. Lately I have been really enjoying the significance behind a rainbow. Here are some portions from a book I am reading:

In the Bible the first covenant that God made was with Noah (Gen 9:8-17), a covenant that had a rainbow as its sign. In Revelation still see a rainbow (Rev. 4:3). God’s faithfulness remains forever. He cannot deny Himself (2 Tim. 2:13). Once He has spoken, He keeps His Word. Today we are under the covenant. In verse after verse of the New Testament, we find God's promises.

This covenant says, "My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is perfected in weakness" (2 Cor. 12:9). "Christ..nullified death" (2 Tim. 1:10). There is a verse for every circumstance that you face. If you hold on to God's covenant, I can promise you that, regardless of what happens to you, there is a verse as a living promise for you to rely upon and live by. We all need to learn how to live under God's covenant. We should not be threatened or frightened by the clouds of our convictions, feelings, and environments. We are under God's covenant, fully under His blessing. There is no more condemnation, no more judgment, no more curse. Death has been abolished. There is no cloud and no flood—only life.
