Noah [Ah, No]

     

     "The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands." 

— Psalm 19:1   

     Today, I observed another of God's beautiful gifts. Looking out my window, I was awed at the gorgeous sight before my eyes. I have always been fascinated with rainbows since I was a child. This one I was now seeing was absolutely spectacular! 

     A huge deluge of rain was pelting down from heavy, dark clouds. Though the sun was still shining brightly, it had already made its way to the west, preparing to make its exit for the day. 
     Consequently, it caused this large, colourful arch to form that stretched from one end of the sky to the other. It seemed so close. What a panoramic view I had from my patio. 

     Every time I see a rainbow, I remember God's promise. 

     After the flood, God made a covenant, (a visible seal or reminder) with Noah, his sons, and all generations to come. 

     Genesis 9:13-15 says — "I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth. Whenever I bring clouds over the earth and the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will remember my covenant between me and you and all living creatures of every kind. Never again will the waters become a flood to destroy all life."     

     Presently, in the theatres, Hollywood is displaying its rendition of Noah's ark, by Darren Aronofsky. After reading some of the reviews, I would not recommend it. 
     Some reviews said, "It did not contain a lot of Biblical truths, with little remnant of the Bible's account of the flood recognizable."     

     

     Once again, we recently marked Earth Day on Saturday, Mar. 29. We were reminded to turn off all electric lights at the same time, for one hour. 

     It's one of the many ways we can consciously preserve and care for this beautiful world God gave us to enjoy.
