Day 1: Bible in 60 Days | God's Bow & Promise

Today I read chapters 1 through 13 of Genesis. There were many take aways but the one I felt I should discuss today was God's rainbow.

Genesis 9:13 English Standard Version (ESV)

13 I have set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be a sign of the covenant between me and the earth.

This is following God's righteous judgement and flood. God sent this image for mankind and the world to see He would not flood the world again. It was His promise that He would be faithful to make something out of His creation, humanity.

Yet today it is a Facebook photo filter... Or a flag we raise to celebrate a divergence from God's will for marriage as covenant between man and woman...

If only we took God seriously. If only we still feared the Lord.

Not because He is terrible or terrorous, He is not, but because it would be right and true to stand in awe, reverence and yes, fear of His power. If only we still believed that.

Fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. (Proverbs 9:10)

Lord help us.

That is really great. I pray God gives you the grace to push it to the end

He will be faithful to complete the good work he began in me, and in all who hear his voice and listen.
