創世記9章11-17節
神的小僕人
經文:
11 我與你們立約,凡有血肉的,不再被洪水滅絕,
12 神說:我與你們,並你們這裡的各樣活物所立的永約,是有記號的。
13 我把虹放在雲彩中,這就可作我與地立約的記號了。
14 我使雲彩蓋地的時候,必有虹現在雲彩中。
15 我便記念我與你們,和各樣有血肉的活物所立的約,
16 虹必現在雲彩中,我看見,
17 神對挪亞說:這就是我與地上一切有血肉之物立約的記號了。
大水滅了世界之後,
人類在世上不停的犯罪,國與國的爭戰,人與人的利害衝突,
禱告:
親愛的上帝,祢說: 凡有生命的必不再被洪水除滅,再没有洪水來毀滅大地了。(11節
Genesis 9:11-17
After the deluge, God promised that He would not use water to destroy the earth again. He established the rainbow and called it a sign of an everlasting covenant between God and all living creatures. It is a covenant of grace and preservation of lives.
When we look at the world today, humankind are destroying the lives God preserves. Wars, fights and selfishness bring about destruction and chaos. Yet God wants to keep and save life for He is gracious to all created beings. He is faithful to His covenant to keep and preserve life.
The covenant of the rainbow is the grace of God for He cares about us.
