There's a rainbow outside right now. Why do rainbows make us happy? Because it's a promise from God? For what?
I had this conversation with a friend.
"What's the promise about rainbows?"
"That God will never flood the Earth again."
"Well that's not very personal."
"Maybe it means that, despite all the storms that hit us in our lives, we will never be destroyed by them. The storm will always have an end."
"What?"
"Well, we're like the Earth, and the flood destroyed the Earth. And so just as the rainbow promises that God will never destroy the Earth by a flood again, so we can know that, though in our lives we have personal storms all the time, they will never destroy us."
