Today’s Living Word — 06‑17‑26

Today’s Living Word comes from Ge 9:16: "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."

On Tuesday night, while we were watching the Brewer game, our neighbor lady sent us a text telling us to look outside at the rainbow. We headed to the front door went outside and WOW! It was stunning. One word to describe it would be "strong." We could see all seven colors with great clarity, and . I blurted out "Hi God!"

I do that most times I see a rainbow because the Bible tells us that God is looking at it from His side! "I will look" He says in v16,

I dont think the timing and the clarity was a chance happening. June has been declared "Gay Pride" month in our nation but that strong rainbow was like God saying " Let Me be clear on the real reason for My rainbow. It’s not about gay pride. Rather it is an everlasting sign of My covenant. It is meant to be a picture of My Son Jesus.

The Lord says, I will look at every rainbow from My side of heaven and you look from yours. I will see you through Jesus and you will see Me through Jesus.

Every rainbow is a sermon in the sky. Declaring God’s glory, and His plan of salvation. Every rainbow calls out the words from Joh 14:6: Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." You gotta go through the rainbow!

Jesus, thank You for rainbows, lift up our hearts when we see them, joyfully confident of the gospel that they proclaim.
