The Rainbow and God's Promise

Last week sweet pea and I as we sat on the back porch witnessed the most perfect full rainbow of our lives. It showed as suspected the pot of gold at my neighbors Charlie Greeley's house. But along with the perfect rainbow that lasted more than a half hour until darkness comes God's Promise to Noah to never ever destroy the earth again by a flood. New Orleans?, well yes this no doubt since it is built in a hole that is 9 feet below sea level but for the rest of us who know water runs down hill and always has, we are safe....

[God made his promise to Noah, his sons, and all the birds and animals that came out of the ark.]

2. What did God promise?

[God promised that the earth and everything living on it would never again be destroyed by a flood.] (well with the exception of New Orleans and maybe some parts of Holland) he did not take into account idiots being born.

3. What is the sign of God's promise?

[The rainbow is the sign of that solemn promise.]

So there you have it looked up on Dogpile.com and there it was as I have always heard. God's promise to never destroy the earth again by Rain and each of these Rainbows remind us of that and the Presence of a great and Powerful God above.

I was not far enough from it to get a picture of the full rainbow but it was there and so beautiful with the grey inside and the brighter outside the rainbow and it run from the center of my Pond over to Wainwright School it appeared. Actually a second rainbow you probably won't make out was present also....I remember Linda and I once saw a triple rainbow but it also was dim on the third bow....But the main rainbow that we saw this week has never been better....

The rains are predicted to continue to come with the weather forecast. It is looking like a possible great year for the crops here in our neck of the woods. The wheat harvest has begun and most likely will all be done this coming week by area farmers.
Have not seen a corn tassle yet but I know they are down in the whirls and just waiting for that perfect time to emerge and make there presents know, will keep an eye peeling....

Ok I looked it up and read it for myself...Gen. chapter 9 verse 11....

"I establish my covenant with you. Never again will all life be cut off by the waters of a flood. Never again will there be a flood to destroy the earth."

And then on into verse 16 it continues that GOD said the Rainbow will remind HIM of his promise to US.....

What a Savior.....

Have a good week.....
