Art and Marci had only been in their new home a couple of months when a hurricane was forecasted to hit their state. They watched the news nightly for the latest update. Fortunately the worst of the hurricane missed their town. Following the rain, Marci went out to survey any damage to their home. As she did she noticed a vivid rainbow high in the sky.
The rainbow reminded her of God's promise made to Noah and all humankind, "I have set my bow in the clouds, and it shall be a sign of the covenant between me and the earth." Marci took a picture of the rainbow and placed it in her Bible. No matter what happened God would see them through any difficulty.
What Marci did not realize that day was there would be another hurricane that would cause damage to their home and others in their community. Part of their roof was torn off by the forceful wind. In addition, debris from neighbors' homes tore up part of their lawn. To make matters worse, they would live without electricity and running water for a week.
Through that difficult time Marci continued to look at her picture of the rainbow. She never felt that God had deserted her or her family. God was present and would see them through.
Noah and his family embarked on dry ground with the realization that God would not desert them. God was serious about the covenant he made with Noah and all humankind. The Lord God told Noah, "This is the sign of the covenant that I have established between me and all flesh that is on the earth."
