Hey,
James here.
Just thought you might need a little something to encourage you.
I know sometimes life gets so busy even reading feels like a lot of work....lol
But inspiration never loses it's value.
Faith Sets the Bow
"And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth,
that the bow shall be seen in the cloud" (Genesis 9:14).
Just now clouds are plentiful enough, but we are not afraid that
the world will be destroyed by a severe flood. We see the rainbow often
enough to prevent our having any such fears. The covenant which
the LORD made with Noah stands fast, and we have no doubts about
it.
Why, then, should we think that the clouds of' trouble, which now
darken our sky, will end in our destruction? Let us dismiss such
groundless and dishonoring fears.
Faith always sees the bow of covenant promise whenever sense sees
the cloud of affliction. God has a bow with which He might shoot
out His arrows of destruction. But see, it is turned upward! It
is a bow without an arrow or a string; it is a bow hung out for
show, no longer used for war. It is a bow of many colors,
expressing joy and delight, and not a bow blood-red with
slaughter or black with anger. Let us be of good courage.
Never does God so darken our sky as to leave His covenant without
a witness, and even if He did, we would trust Him since He cannot
change or lie or in any other way fail to keep His covenant of
peace. Until the waters go over the earth again, we shall have no
reason for doubting our God.
