                                 Faith Sees the Rainbow

"It shall be, when i bring a cloud over the earth, that the rainbow shall be seen in the cloud."
                                                          ~ Genesis 9:14

  "Just now clouds are plentiful enough, but we are not afraid that the world will be destroyed by a flood. We see the rainbow often enough to prevent our having any such fears. The covenant that the Lord made with Noah stands fast, and we have no doubts about it. Why, then, should we think that the clouds of trouble, which now darken our sky, will end in our destruction? Dismiss such groundless and dishonoring fears!
  Faith always sees the rainbow of covenant promise whenever sense sees the cloud of affliction. Let us be of good courage. Never does God so darken our sky as to leave His covenant without a witness; and even if He did, we would trust Him still, since He cannot lie or in any other way fail to keep His covenant of peace. Until the waters go over the earth again, we have no reason for doubting God." (By: Charles H. Spurgeon ~ One Minute Devotions)
