A Rainbow and a Promise

The heavens declare the glory of God;

the skies proclaim the work of His hands. 

Psalm 19:1

I took this picture from my backyard a couple days ago,

 and it reminded me of God's promise to Noah in Genesis 9.

And God said, "This is the sign of the covenant I am making between me and you and every living creature with you, a covenant for all generations to come: 

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." 

Genesis 9:12-15
