God has not forgotten you

As I think about the tiny part of a rainbow my husband and I saw two mornings ago, this is what I thought about.

There was a flood in your life, like in the days of Noah. Everything was destroyed, except you. The things you worked so hard to achieve washed away. Your dreams vanished right as they were beginning to manifest.

You were discouraged, feeling like all hope was gone. You cried out but no one could offer you help. The light in your life became dark, and you felt lost, though no one could see this emptiness in your soul.

Then the Lord remembered you, like He remembered Noah in Genesis 8:1.

He remembered you because He saw that you were clothed in the Blood of His Son.

The Father recalled the sacrifice of His Son. He reminisced about the way they tortured His body, so humankind could obtain salvation.

That was when our Father turned the lights back on in your soul and began restoring you.

God promised Noah that He would never allow a flood to destroy all life (Genesis 8:15). Verse 16 says, “Whenever the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and all living creatures of every kind on the earth.”

The rainbow was established because of a covenant between God and Noah. However, there is a stronger covenant through the Blood of Jesus.

Matthew 26:27-28 states that Jesus took a cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you. This is my blood of theb]" > covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.

The rainbow is truly beautiful and has a profound history. Nevertheless, because of the Jesus, we know the Father is quick to help us when He sees the Blood all over us (spiritually speaking).

Promises through Jesus

• In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace (Ephesians 1:7).

• Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from the wrath of God through Him (Romans 5:9).

• For it was the Father's good pleasure for all the fullness to dwell in Him, and through Him to reconcile all things to Himself, having made peace through the blood of His cross; through Him, I say, whether things on earth or things in heaven (Colossians 1:19-20).
