Today’s thoughts by Julie Wicker

‭‭Genesis‬ ‭9‬:‭11‬-‭12‬ ‭NIV‬‬ — I establish my covenant with you: Never again will all life be destroyed by the waters of a flood; never again will there be a flood to destroy the earth.” 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.

This week we are sharing what the rainbow symbolizes to Christians and what it represents in God’s new covenant. When you see a rainbow, what do you think of? Wikipedia describes it as an optical phenomenon. Did you know there are seven colors to a rainbow, the number of perfection? Another detail that only God could create. 

In today’s key verse God continues to give details of the covenant, promising it for generations to come. Through the generations, we build relationships. Communication is key to nurturing those relationships. How do we listen to God? Often it is through signs. ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭55‬:‭3‬ ‭NIV‬‬ instructs us to listen — Give ear and come to me; listen, that you may live. I will make an everlasting covenant with you, my faithful love promised to David.

On this Water Walking Wednesday think about how you listen to God when He leads you to walk on water. We have God’s word, worship music, God Winks, and friends to sharpen us. How will you listen to God today?

Let’s pray. Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for speaking to me through various ways. I want to be in tune to You through what I know, hear, see, and feel. I don’t want to miss a thing. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.
