When I was in 4th grade we had to create a nation and a flag and enter a class contest to see what our class would be for an all-school olympics. My entry was Rainbow Land and it was based on my love of them, but also on a nation who loves each other and loves God. I ended up winning and our flag was a rainbow....I remember the boys in my class weren't too happy that that would be representing our olympic team when we walked to our various events.
Because God was the one who could make a covenant with His creation, He was the only one who could give it a sign or validity...so He assigned the rainbow as a seal of His promise to us. The beauty in that is that God is in control of it...we cannot manufacture the promise or the beautiful signature of GOD sealing it! It is a sign of our relationship with God and it gives us grace and mercy as we seek Him to be forgiven and learn to walk in His ways.
"May God give you....for every storm a rainbow, for every tear a smile, for every care a promise and a blessing in each trial. For every problem life sends, a faithful friend to share, for every sigh a sweet song and an answer to each prayer."
