Lessons from the Rainbow
Genesis 9:12-17
And God said, This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you…


Whenever we see a rainbow, let us —

(1) Call to mind that it is God's bow seen in the cloud.

(2) Conclude, that in His darkest dispensations, there is ever a gracious purpose towards us.

(3) Consider that all warnings of wrath to come are accompanied with offers of pardon to the penitent.

(W. Adamson.)
